You weren't stopping that offense. Same with Aggie. We beat Aggie if Malik doesn't fumble, we beat y'all if Marco doesn't throw the shoe. That Grantham defense bordered on criminal negligence.

Except they literally only scored 3 points on their final 5 drives in that game.

I'll admit, I thought he was a homerun, as did MANY others. In hindsight, we probably should have listened to the people who told us he had red flags, and not just dismissed them as butthurt Mississippi State fans.

But Mullen is the QB whisperer and the next coming of Jesus is what I remember reading on this board.

Aggy is the queen of doing this.

I am having flashbacks of AR throwing pick 6's and fumbles last year. A real munson if you ask me.

It took Trask 4 plays with under a minute left to drive down the field & get within a very makable FG range. For one of the best kickers in college football that season.

Because LSU was sitting back in prevent trying not to give up an easy touchdown.

I don't know.

As a UF fan I know a lot of UF fans. I think some of us thought he'd get close but not many of us thought he was the next Saban or anything.

It was still 51 yards. Makeable, but should never be taken for granted.

IMHO, it was the 2021 LSU game that cost Muffins his job.

The Gators that day let an LSU team, who refused to even try to run the ball while nursing a 4th Qtr lead against Auburn, run it down their throats to the tune of 321 yards. That equaled almost two-thirds of the 499 yards LSU had rushed for in the previous six games. Tyrion Davis-Price, in running for a school record 287 yards, literally doubled his season rushing total in the seventh game.

None of it was trickery either; LSU just ran off-tackle man-ball and bludgeoned Florida, who could do nothing about it.

Oh, and Ed Orgeron already knew he was fired.

So, yeah, it was the 2021 game, and not the shoe that got him fired.

GEAUX TIGERS!

No because when you have a team that undisciplined and quite frankly... stupid, it would have caught up with them somewhere else.

this was a coach that against UGA with a 41-28 lead with 5 minutes to go was still throwing the ball and went for it on 4th and 5 at midfield. He was lucky as hell to win that game with stupid play calls.

Florida being that close to a playoff goes to show you that 2020 was a joke of a season

The only people who say 2020 was a joke of a season, are the teams that were a joke that season.

If that season was such a joke, your team should have had no problem winning games.

If Mullen would have game planned to stop the trap play last year vs LSU he would still be at UF

I think he ran the trap play 40 times last year
