Absolutely, without a doubt. I saw it done as recently as 2006, & 2007. I am a firm believer in defense wins championships. Between now and Jan 7th the only thing that matters is to survive and advance, win anyway you can. When ranked #1, margin of victory is virtually irrelevant. Staying undefeated is the key. With our defense, I don't believe there is a game between now and then that we couldn't win by simply relying on our offensive line and running backs. Take last Saturday night, we absolutely dominated LSU in every way but the scoreboard. LSU stacked the box, knowing what was coming, yet Florida imposed their will upon LSU. Finesse team, my a$%, on Saturday we played smash mouth football as well as anybody ever has. Furthermore, despite all the rhetoric, just because we haven't demonstrated a vertical passing game, doesn't mean we don't have one, it just means we haven't had to show it. To paraphrase Quigley, I said I didn't have much use for a passing game, I didn't say I didn't know how to use the passing game. With this defense, arguably one of the best the Gators have ever produced, the offense can be very conservative and win.

From: "Randy Platt" <[email protected]> Date: Tue, October 13, 2009 5:26 pm To: <[email protected]> Yes, I am still alive. Unlike some coaches we know. I knew when it was time to retire. Been lurking and listening. With McKibben on here it just doesn't make sense to repeat what he posts. It is uncanny how much he and I think alike when it comes to Gator football. Probably why I had him fill-in for me over the years. Anyway, I am doing fine, thanks for asking. Gators are doing fine. The Gator faithful seem to be doing fine, although some seem a little impatient. Randy Platt aka "PCGator" aka "The Armchair Quarterback" aka "The Other Randy" Later Gators!
