It’s easy to see why Florida fell to Mizzou on Saturday. They forced the ball to Van Jefferson more times than not.

I made the decision before the Gators played Vanderbilt on Oct. 13 to start paying attention to who quarterback Feleipe Franks likes to throw the ball to.

It wasn’t anything too serious. It was my way of trying to figure out why Florida’s offense was working so well at the time.

UF was sitting at 5-1, fresh off a win against then-No. 5 LSU. So I figured, why not?

That’s where I started noticing a pattern. The Gators really like to force the ball to receiver Van Jefferson. A lot more than they do anybody else.
