It wasn’t long into the game before Dan Mullen threw caution to the wind.
The Florida Gators’ defense allowed Miami to march down the field but held the Canes to a field goal. Florida’s offensive drive gained seven yards on three plays before the punting unit came out on the field but Mullen didn’t have any intention of punting the ball back to Manny Diaz and the Hurricanes.
“It’s pretty much set,” punter Tommy Townsend said when asked about the play call.”
Basically Mullen calls for the fake punt and when the Gators punt team comes out to the field they have a player, one of the two shields, look at how the opponent is lined up.
