Dan Mullen’s offense hit the ground running but it was the passing game and Feleipe Franks that lit up the scoreboard early. The last two games have been closer to what we expected when Mullen took over with the Gators’ offense imposing its will on opponents with a powerful rushing attack.
Mullen knows the importance of running the ball in this game specifically. It was 13 years ago when Mullen was first indoctrinated into the Florida-Georgia rivalry as the Gators’ offensive coordinator. Florida lost to Alabama that season 31-2 and two weeks later to LSU 27-17.
Mullen’s phone ran around lunch time the Sunday after the LSU loss.
