It made it easy for a talented and speedy DL to crash down on the dive or sneak and make a play. We basically ran the same play 3 times, and the same defender made the tackle 3 times. Unbelievably terrible.

This. An OC has to know the limitations of his offense. Our best OL is out. We had 2 OL hurt and playing hurt. It was obvious we would never be able to blow Florida off the ball in a packed in goal line situation. We should have run our standard offense and spread the field. I would have brought in Fields with an option to pass or run. There's no way Florida would have stopped that offense from getting 1 yard 6 times.

Football lesson here... bunch formations are more about having multiple TEs or H backs or even receivers close to the primary lineman. There are advantages to running it on pass and run plays...

Splits are the distance between the lineman. Usually on sneaks and close yardage plays, you will run tight splits. You are not creating holes as much as getting push for the back/QB to follow.
UF, to their credit, did not let us get push. This along with the tighter splits and the deeper set up of our Rbs also,allows the DE to pinch in and affect the Rbs, if the line gets push, I don’t think it matters... but since our line was held our pushed back, it slowed our RB down as there was really nowhere to go.

This was on our line. They got whipped. It was disconcerting. Glad they were able to shake it off and finish strong.
