Todd Wade: Florida Has To Blitz Chambliss, And They Can't | Ole Miss vs Florida
Description
Every preview of this game has started with fifty-four points a game and Jadan Baugh. Start somewhere else.
Start with what Florida said about Florida. Defensive coordinator Brad White, after a win: "we need to get better back there." Head coach Jon Sumrall, on the last touchdown Auburn scored: "makes me want to puke watching it." Auburn threw it thirty-five times in that game and the Gators broke up two.
One day to Florida.
Steven Willis puts three reasons Ole Miss beats Florida on the board and defends all three out loud, then hands you the keys, the names and a number — and corrects two of his own figures along the way.

📌 THREE THINGS
1. THIRTY AGAINST FORTY-SIX. Jadan Baugh has 30 broken tackles, the most in the FBS. Ole Miss has 46 missed tackles, second-most in the Power Four. Both figures are PFF's, via analyst Max Chadwick. Put them in one sentence and you have Saturday. Sharif Denson, who came from Florida, and Blake Purchase, who has never faced Baugh, gave the same answer in separate rooms: wrap up and gang tackle.
2. FLORIDA HANDED US THE WEAKNESS. Brad White and Jon Sumrall both named the secondary in the same week, and Auburn threw 35 times against two breakups. The caveats are real — Auburn was chasing, plenty of those throws were uncontested, Florida won 44-39, and Cormani McClain took the ball away. But the SEC's leading passer is the next man they see.
3. THE QUARTERBACK BREAKS THE TIE. Chambliss leads the SEC with 924 passing yards, and the argument is not the stat. Against LSU he gave a 17-point lead back, threw the pick that started it, then ran it in from 14 to take the game back. Aaron Philo has been good and has not yet had to win a one-score fourth quarter on this stage.
