I wouldn't pass it either.

Problem is when your up 3 scores in the 4th it might be a decent opportunity to pass a bit and give your true freshman a chance to acclimate to passing in the SEC. Its yet another of those things Muschamp never understood-- basically as soon as we got a 2 score (or even 1 score at times) lead on anybody he'd park the bus and start running it into the line, a side effect of which was that our QBs never really got any chances to develop and only passed in must pass situations.

I swear the man was like Rainman as a coach- he just didn't understand anything whatsoever outside of defensive "X's and O's" and thus would do anything to improve his defensive metrics even to the detriment of development, team cohesion or talent level (ask any Florida fan about how every single player who was listed as an athlete or played both ways in HS always got tried out on defense first even when we were short of numbers on offense-- Tim Tebow is an all-SEC MLB under Boom and Florida averages 7.5 wins a year during his time on campus, peaking in 2009 when he teams with freshman star Cam Newton-- playing the buck position a DE/LB hybrid to lead the best defense in the nation, unfortunately the team only scores 17 points a game and fails to make it to Atlanta).
