Dan Mullen didn’t feel right.
It was a big week for the 35-year old offensive coordinator. The Gators were 4-0 and ranked No. 4 in the country with Auburn, the only team that beat the Gators the previous season, coming to town. Florida had won its last 11 games, one shy of tying a school record.
The week went anything but according to plan for Mullen.
It started sometime on Thursday before the game. Mullen recalled sitting in a staff meeting in a thick sweat.
“I went downstairs to the training room and laid down a couple minutes, they gave me some medicine, went out to practice,” Mullen recalled on Wednesday.
