I didn't see the game. How did we run for over 200 yards while having a real hard time runnin the ball?

The secondary gave up 223 yards passing. Not great, but not terrible.

What the hell happened in the game to make the stats seem worse than they actually were?

Most of BG's passing came in the 1st half. UF played a soft zone for most of the first half until the middle of the 2nd Q, when Quinn had the secondary playing press man coverage.

Bowling Green didn't respect our ability to throw, so they loaded the box. We stubbornly kept trying to run right into 8 man fronts and failed to pick up basically every 3rd and short all day. We had some success running in the 2nd quarter but BG made adjustments, and we tried to keep doing what we were doing with very little adjustments.

We should have made them pay with some play action, but we didn't. I don't know if it was cause our QBs are really struggling to throw the ball or if the coaches just didn't call the pass plays for some reason (probably a little of both). Muschamp was hoping we would just physically dominate them, but we didn't.

Penalties, penalties, penalties. One of the longest games due to penalties.
