Would you say that Florida just played that bad and that unprepared or would your say that Ole Miss was just that good or lucky?
Key word turnovers!
I see that a lot, and sure it's key. But, I offer this to chew on.
Ole Miss drove 70 yards for their first touchdown to take a 7-0 lead. That possession wasn't because UF turned the ball over, it's because Ole Miss' defense held the on 4th down when Tebow couldn't complete the pass on 4th and 3.
UF, after taking a 17-7 lead, does fumble twice giving Ole Miss a short field to work with allowing them to tie.
Tied 17-17, middle of the 3rd, Ole Miss drives 72 yards for a TD. Takes the lead, 24-17.
4th quarter, 80+ yard drive allows Ole Miss to score again. Not off of a turnover, but off of Florida not being able to get a first down.
Blocked extra point keeps Ole Miss' lead at 31-30.
Florida gets the ball back in the 4th, has a good drive going and finds themselves 4th and 1 on the Ole Miss 32. Can't convert.
I'll give Ole Miss 10 points off of turnovers, but I will not take a thing away from their defense for creating turnovers and being able to stop UF on 4th down more than once.
