re: Mullen’s team behavior

That may have been one of the most cringeworthy football games I have ever witnessed in my life, and that’s after 7 months of no competitive football.

It could be one of those cases where a very good team looked very bad in their first game. We've all seen that before and we will see it again.

That having been said, there is some real cause for concern.

There is an expression in boxing "help your opponent out of there". Basically when the gent you are fighting is out on his feet and ready to go you need to finish him off. Miami was more then ready to go but the Florida DBs made mistake after mistake, not just blown coverage but fouls that were incredibly poor decisions.

Miami's defense was not very heralded coming into the game but they managed to make Florida very one dimensional and I don't think anyone feels comfortable in Franks ability to beat a lot of folks through the air.

Miami is not that good (trust me, I know what a team that isn't very good looks like) and is at the beginning of what looks to be major rebuild. If they had been one year further along in that rebuild they knock Florida off last night. That is a cause for concern.
