Episode Details

Everybody spent the bye week arguing about whether Ole Miss quit or whether the scheme is too complicated. Todd Wade gave a third answer in three letters: C-gap. Ole Miss plays a 4-2-5 built for spread offenses. Florida played 12 and 13 personnel, made extra gaps outside and attacked Blake Purchase and Suntarine Perkins — a linebacker essentially playing the other end. Wade: "If I was the Florida offensive coordinator, I would have done exactly the same thing." He called it indefendable.

9 days to Vanderbilt in Nashville. The last of four legends on the Florida autopsy, and the only one who put a formation on it.

Steven Willis and Todd Wade take the Florida film apart at the point of attack — why the edge was outnumbered by design, why a former left tackle is asking for FEWER runs, and the personnel question nobody else has said out loud.

📌 THREE THINGS

1. Wade raised the personnel question everybody else is avoiding. "It might be a personnel issue… maybe Purchase isn't the answer." He pointed to a first-quarter snap where Purchase jumped back to brace himself, and said far too much pressure was aimed at one player on both sides of the line. He also noted Golding's familiarity with the 3-4.

2. A former left tackle asked for fewer runs. The early drives stalled because Ole Miss forced the run against a front it could not move: "We abandoned what we're really great at." Florida held the ball 36:59 to 23:01. When the Rebels finally threw, Deuce Alexander went for 7 catches and 134 yards, his second 100-yard game — too late.

3. Vanderbilt is the same problem arriving again. Buster Faulkner, who just put 302 rushing yards on Ole Miss, is Florida's OC — and Vandy runs a lot of the same misdirection, with Jerry Kill as chief consultant. Wade: "If I'm Clark Lea, that's the first thing I see." The flip side: Vandy blitzes rather than rushing four, and starts a true freshman QB.
