Florida train Dan Mullen clarified his approach for handling suggestions in advance of Saturday's showdown with No. 1 Alabama.
"I don't pay attention to several pointers,"Mullen stated at his once a week interview."If you remain in our staff meeting, I might listen to your recommendation. I don't diminish to Shands Medical facility and say,'Boy, I believe you must really do that procedure in this manner.
'I think those people most likely got that controlled."The most-frequent idea for Mullen this week focuses on fresher quarterback Anthony Richardson, the freshman quarterback who made the most of his example via two video games. MORE: Betting patterns to understand for Florida-Alabama|Week 3 choices against the spread|Week 2 Takeaways Richardson has actually hit 6 of 11 passes for 192 yards and also 2 TDs. He has 11 lugs for 275 yards and two TDs. That's approximately 21.2 lawns per play; essentially a chunk play each time. Richardson battled a hamstring injury in practice this week, yet the pointer is around. Why not start Richardon as opposed to Emory Jones as well as see what occurs against the Crimson Trend? Jones has more experience yet has actually also thrown 4 interceptions in two games. Mullen hinted that the plan will
be to start Jones as well as work Richardson in, which has actually held true in walk-over success against FAU and South Florida."There are some situations perhaps that would certainly alter that, however I suggest everybody is type of planning on entering into the game that, 'Hey, (Richardson) is going to play the 3rd series," Mullen claimed.
However you beat Alabama by going off the manuscript. That's what makes Richardson such an appealing player heading into Week 3. The last Florida quarterback to beat Alabama was Tim Tebow in the SEC national championship on Dec. 6, 2008.
Alabama has shed simply 16 games given that, and that includes simply 11 regular-season video games.
QBs that defeat Alabama in routine period given that 2009
| Steven Garcia, South Carolina (Oct. 9, 2010) |
| Jordan Jefferson, Jarrett Lee, LSU (Nov. 6, 2010) |
| Cam Newton, Auburn (Nov. 26, 2010) |
| Jordan Jefferson, Jarrett Lee, LSU (Nov. 5, 2011) |
| Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M (Nov. 10, 2012) |
| Nick Marshall, Auburn (Nov. 30, 2013) |
| Bo Wallace, Ole Miss (Oct. 4, 2014) |
| Chad Kelly, Ole Miss (Sept. 19, 2015) |
| Jarrett Stidham, Auburn (Nov. 25, 2017) |
| Joe Burrow, LSU (Nov. 9, 2019) |
| Bo Nix, Auburn (Nov. 30, 2019) |
Everybody remembers the Heisman Trophy-worthy performances by Webcam Newton, Johnny Manziel and also Joe Burrow. Previous Auburn coach Gus Malzahn beat Saban with Nick Marshall, Jarrett Stidham and Bo Nix. Previous Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze did the very same with Bo Wallace and also Chad Kelly. Former South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier did it with Steven Garcia, the outlier on this checklist.
The Jones-Richardson dynamic at Florida is various from what previous LSU train Les Miles finished with Jarrett Lee and also Jordan Jefferson two times. Most of those quarterbacks provided issues for Alabama with their movement-- the remarkable propensity for making the large play when the manuscript was destroyed.
Can Mullen, that is 0-10 against Saban, locate that combination with Jones and also Richardson? WIll he offer Richardson extra associates today? It's a hard call provided the inexperience.
Jones (63.3 completion percent) and Richardson (54.5%) are still becoming their functions, and Alabama's defense minimal Miami's D'Eriq King to 189 complete yards and also forced two turnovers in a 44-13 blouwt on Sept. 3. Mullen will be asking those quarterbacks to match Bryce Youthful, who has taken the very early Heisman Trophy lead after back-to-back brilliant efficiencies.
Still, this is an incredible opportunity for Florida to damage a seven-game losing streak to the Crimson Trend. Kyle Trask threw for 408 lawns and also 3 TDs because list, so a fantastic quarterback efficiency still might not suffice.
"It's a possibility for this team to see where we go to this factor of the period," Mullen said. "The outcome of this game is not going to define the period either way."
It will define who Florida's quarterback is for the remainder of the year.
We would not recommend anything much less.
