Florida shows sputtering offense

Urban Meyer and the Florida coaching staff might say all the right things about how Miami was a tough opponent and how it was still a double-digit win, but to have 29 yards of total offense up until a huge mid-second half run from Jeff Demps is a disaster.

Florida may have won the game, but not the hearts and minds of the Gator Nation as the offense did little to calm the fears of fans in this post Tebow era.
