Florida’s offense drove almost the length of the field on its first drive against Florida State on Saturday night. After a touchback, it covered 73 yards on eight plays, and faced a fourth and goal from the FSU 2.
It was a fine idea to go for the touchdown on that next play: The worst-case scenario was just a failure that would force the Seminoles to go even further on their next drive.
Florida didn’t convert on that fourth down, though. And it didn’t come close to scoring a touchdown again. Or convert a third down. Or go more than 25 yards on a play.
