In my wildest dreams, I could not have predicted a Peach Bowl date with Michigan (noon, ESPN or WatchESPN) being the end of this Florida Gators season, the first under Dan Mullen as head coach.
I thought Florida would stumble more than it did, and fail to reach the top speeds it showed possible in its best outings. I thought Mullen had less talent on hand that he appears to have — which is either an indictment of my own assessments, or of how little his predecessor managed to do with the same players and a testament to how much Mullen and his staff know about coaching football.
