You act like Mullen dominated the competition last year. He easily could have lost to Carolina and Vandy (big RB injury saved y’all) last year. Lost at home to teams with less talent in Missouri and Kentucky. Pump the brakes on Mullen until he puts together a complete season and actually wins something.
Why did 10-3 UK run and pass on UF in Gm-2?
Lost for the season, the projected starting FS Quincy Lenton during Fall practice.
Vs UK, missing defensive QB,
MLB David Reese, injured out in Fall practice, missed 3 Gms. He was on the Bednarik Award & Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch lists. Had 11 Tkls in the win over LSU. -- Suppose that helped UK run the ball with their best RB ever?
In 1st series vs UK, injured out 2017 Coaches 1st Team Fr All SEC CB Marco Wilson.
Losing #1 CB Wilson and FS Lenton couldn't have helped those 3 teams QB's in their passing game, right?
Missing those 3 on the defense might have had an impact vs UK best team in the last 3 decades. Losing the run stopping MLB and 2 DB starters might have allowed UK to run and pass a bit more than otherwise...
Lost RB Malik Davis to season ending injury in Gm-4 vs TN. He broke Clem's Ray-Ray McClouds HS records. But I guess losing him meant less than some other team losing a RB...
And those were far from UF's only injuries on the season. Cost 3 games, but Dan still pulled off a 10 win season, a NY-6 Bowl win, and a final #6 Ranking in his 1st season.
(4th & Dumb also lost 3 games,
in his 3rd season at UGly)
