Wasn’t Shockley injured for this one?


On the contrary, he gave UF 7 of their 20 points scored.

You're thinking of 2005 when we had to start JT3 against urban yet still somehow almost pulled it off.

Wouldn’t call that inexplicable - we were a 4-8 team that year, they were #1 - and they were out for revenge as we had upset them the year before and completely screwed their season.

Now losing 14-18 to Arkansas State at home, that was inexplicable.

This was the game when Greene had the offense playing well early, but Richt put Shockley in, Shockley threw a pick six, and the offense died after that.

I never liked how Richt handled those two. He should have put Shockley in as a curveball when Greene was struggling, but he put Shockley in for the third series every game no matter what, which sometimes threw off the offense if Greene was playing well early.

It would have been 2010 Tennessee. Thank you Derek Dooley for out-dumbassing Les.

Some great ones for VOLS have already been mentioned, so I submit 2011 UK, where we lost to a backup WR playing QB. UK had 15 passing yards and 124 rushing yards.

That loss broke a 27 game streak over UK, which was the longest active single-opponent streak at the time. Funny enough, UF’s streak over UK then because the longest one.

agree. And I totally undersatnd the flip side too. Like it's easy to say that if Greene is not doing great and you put DJ in, is that going to completely tank DG's confidence? And you've also got DJ on pins and needles all game wondering if the next drive will be one he's in. By saying "DJ is going in the 3rd series every game" it removes the nerves and question marks and all that. So I GET IT. But.....as you said, it really friggin sucks if DG is playing great and the offense is humming then you completely throw it off.

August 28th, 1999. 17th ranked Texas loses at home to unranked North Carolina State because of 3 blocked punts.
