They shouldn't have gone with the full "defend the goal line" prevent, but they should not have been playing tight coverage. The CB at the top of the screen when the play starts is playing tight, almost press, coverage. The safeties also only like 15 yards from the LOS, give or take. They should have been deeper, at least have their heels on the limit of UF's FG range then drop from there.

At the very least they should have had 3 deep safeties and played man the rest of the way. When I got the alert on my phone I figured it was just a jump ball that Florlda was able to come down with. I was shocked when I saw the play for the first time this morning.

At the very least you play cover 4 and tell you're DBs do not come up on a WR until the ball leaves the QBs hands.
And you only need 4 DBs for cover 4.

Exactly. Plus, people seem to forget that a field goal beats the Vols at that point in the game. They could have thrown a 30 yard pass to run out of bounds to set up the winning field goal. Number 22 cannot cover a snowman and Abernathy took the wrong angle. Should have been backing up.
