Perhaps just let your horses play their game... do what they do best vs dropping back into coverage.

From the UF write-up, "Continuing on, something I was specifically looking for in the rewatch was what Tennessee did to disrupt the Gators' offense in the second half. UF's offensive line had a great first half, keepingAustin Appleby clean and opening up some holes.

The answer was almost disappointing in its simplicity. In the first half, Bob Shoop tried to have his defensive ends Derek Barnett and Corey Vereen do a little of everything. He even hadBarnett dropping back into pass coverage a few times.

In the second half, Shoop had them mostly just attack the backfield. That's pretty much it. They made the Florida offensive line look like a unit that starts three underclassmen, including a true freshman at right tackle. That true freshman, Jawaan Taylor, had been looking good to date, but the senior Vereen made him look like a freshman. Barnett was too fast for LT David Sharpe to handle consistently, and Barnett made the decision to try to block him with TE C'yontai Lewis look as silly as it is when it happened."
