Florida offense still searching for an identity
Despite what Mullen said, it was an upset. But that Mississippi State pulled it off despite not scoring after the first quarter shows the depths to which Florida has sunk one season after going 13-1 and two seasons after winning their second national title in three years.
Mullen and his offensive staff showed such disdain for Florida’s offense Saturday night that the Bulldogs attempted just nine passes total and just one — one — after the 13:22 mark of the second quarter. That one attempt was a shovel pass in the fourth quarter. Mullen evidently realized that as long as Mississippi State didn’t make any offensive mistakes — and if you’ve seen Mississippi State attempt to pass, you know mistakes are bound to happen — it was going to win the game.
