Loathing All Things Georgia
Florida lost to FSU in late 1996 in the “Echo of the whistle” game. Our QB was slaughtered when a stubborn Spurrier refused to go to the shotgun - even though we clearly could not stop FSU defensive pressure. It seemingly took us out of the championship race because Spurrier refused to adjust to game conditions and stuck with what was in his mind.
The Ole Ball Coach thought hard about it when we got a rematch to the Sugar Bowl. Thanks to the Buckeyes’ win in the Rose Bowl we played the Noles again for the national championship. Amazingly, Spurrier revamped his whole offense with Danny Wuerffel in the shotgun. With the extra seconds the shotgun gave Danny, he read his progressions and we beat FSU by 32 points for the national championship.
if Woody was correct, and I believe he was, you had one of those soul cleansing moments. If Day is half the coach I think he is, he will reevaluate and adjust going forward. Even legendary coaches need a butt whipping sometimes. We’ll see what Day does.
