PAT DOOLEY GRADES THE GATORS – FSU Offense C+ First half: Florida had two chances early to put the foot on the neck of the opponent, but couldn’t take advantage of a short punt and a rare UF interception. Florida had the total yardage advantage, as usual, but again struggled …

The Back Nine comes at you after a weekend that was clearly the last straw for Dan Mullen and the fourth head coaching search in the last eight years for a Florida football coach. I am available for counseling. 10. It is a sad day when a coach gets fired …

OFFENSE D First half: New game, new problems. This time, it was an offense that was so dynamic a week ago and did very little in this half. The Gators had three possessions in Missouri territory (not including the final play) and here’s what they did on big third downs …

The Back Nine comes at you after what can only be described as a weird birthday weekend. I was sick on my birthday and even more sick watching Florida’s defense against Samford, but not Florida’s defense against FSU. Did I say weird? Let’s see, the football and basketball scores were …

The Back Nine comes at you after a Saturday off and, boy, did I take advantage of it. If by taking advantage of it, you can accept doing almost nothing but watching football and one really lovely baseball game. After watching Mississippi throttle LSU on Saturday, I’m sure there were …
