What did these teams figure out about Florida? How did they go from a billion points a game to getting locked down by South Carolina who got demolished on offense by Alabama etc.?

The recipe is pretty simple:

  1. Stack the box. Our O-Line is terrible, and this prevents Baugh from running anywhere.
  2. Force Philo is pass. He isn’t very good, so it’s easy to shut down the run game when you don’t have to worry about the pass game. Also, since the O-Line is bad, you’ll get to the QB a lot.
  3. Apparently, the entirety of our offense relies on VB3 being healthy.

That's how teams shut us down when Ollie Gordon was running wild. Even his Doak Walker winning season, teams like UCF and Texas stacked the box and we couldn't move the ball. Move that into 2024 and we go 3-9.
