Coach Boom Ball Exposed, Again*
What happened to the University of Florida on Saturday in Miami
could be called a philosophical loss. Miami didn’t do much, but
that’s the problem with Will Muschamp’s style of football – it
doesn’t take much to lose.
Last season we watched Florida win ugly… a lot. The ugly wins
against good teams like Texas A&M, LSU and Florida State made it
easier to overlook the ugly wins against terrible teams like
Bowling Green, Louisiana-Lafayette, and Missouri. The wins allowed
us to give the Gators a pass for their miserable offensive
performance against Georgia and their humiliating bowl loss
against Louisville. Saturday’s loss to Miami exposed the Florida
Gators for what they really are: A Great Defense with a terrible
offense and questionable coaching.
Want to beat Florida? Take some chances. Run some trick plays. Go
for it on fourth down. Air it out, a lot. They might not always
work out, but even if they don’t, Florida doesn’t have the offense
to make you pay consistently.
That is what Miami did on Saturday. They executed their
choreographed first drive and then, later in the quarter, took a
chance on the deep ball and connected. 14 first quarter points.
That’s it. That was all The U needed to beat Florida. Sure the
Gators might also get to 14, but their offense is so lame and
unimaginative and their execution of said plays will be so poor
that they will inadvertently give up seven points in their efforts
to score 14.
Miami’s plan was to make Quarterback Jeff Driskel beat them. They
took away the run and decided to take their chances with Driskel;
They chose wisely. Driskel rewarded the Hurricanes with two
redzone interceptions, a fumble and a terrible effort on fourth
and short. Often he had plays in which he had more time than any
quarterback should ever conceivably have and produced nothing. The
big question mark coming into this season was, “Could Jeff Driskel
take the next step and become the quarterback he was expected to
be as the #1 quarterback recruit in the country?” The answer is
no. He did not take that step. He will never be that guy.
Driskel doesn’t get all the blame or even a majority of the blame
for this loss. That falls on Head Coach Will Muschamp. He broke
from protocol. Florida failed on a baffling first quarter
two-point conversion and the team never recovered. It sounds
insane that one point in the first quarter could determine the
game but it did for the Gators. Muschamp can’t have it both ways.
He can’t be the team that clearly despises offense, running the
kind of offense that would be described as cripplingly
conservative in 1980, and also be the team that goes for two in
the first quarter and passes on an easy field goal inside the
twenty. The irony is: had Muschamp stuck with his system of being
the most miserably boring offense in the history of football, the
Gators would have won the game. They would have turned turnovers
into field goals and the defense would have held on. They would
have forced Miami’s average QB to make the kind of plays that
often turn into turnovers. Will Muschamp didn’t believe in his own
system, which as we’ve now seen too many times, leaves zero room
for error, be it offensive, defensive or coaching errors.
