Turnovers are Sticking in the Mind of Urban Meyer!
With a game against Mississippi State pending, Urban Meyer is looking at the team's current capabilities to determine whether or not the Florida Gators are going to continue their winning streak for another round.
In terms of the offense, the gators have been struggling to run the ball during the first few quarters of the last game, but they still managed to make 100 yards just in during the fourth quarter. They had a total of four fumbles which were completely inexcusable, and so was the dropped touchdown pass on the behalf of Riley Cooper, as well as six sacks. The other receivers besides Cooper were continuing to struggle, and the Gators only managed to convert four out of thirteen third-downs.
In terms of the defense, they were really put in a bad situation by the offense with two fumbles inside of Florida territory. They did manage to force three and outs following two fumbles within the Arkansas red zone.
As far as special teams go, Caleb Sturgis managed to miss a field goal early on, but he responded well with three more, including one that was 51 yards and managed to win the game with a mere nine seconds left on the clock. The Gators still seem in capable of getting their return game going, however, and they really did not do a good job when it came to kickoff coverage.
As far as scouting the opponent is concerned, Mississippi State, which sits at 3 to 4 and 1 to 2 in the SEC is coming away from a victory in Middle Tennessee of 27 to 6. The Bulldogs, who are led by the former offensive coordinator for UF, Dan Mullen, happen to have one of the best backs in the entire league, who is Anthony Dixen. He was the career rushing leader for MSU. Still, they seem to struggle when it comes to throwing the ball, averaging at about 174 yards with each game, and they are ranking near the bottom of the SEC's leader board when it comes to most of the defensive categories.
The UF Gators coach, Urban Meyer, has already said that he has blocked off a section of the upcoming practice where the Gators are going to be spending some extra time and effort working on their ball security. There may need to be a couple of sessions of this in order to get the UF Gators up to snuff on their ball security.
The Gators definitely need a lot of work here because they have turned the ball over a total of eleven times in the span of only six games, and this figure includes a total of nine fumbles, and four of those fumbles were in the victory game against Arkansas this past Saturday. The Gators obviously need some work before they go up against Mississippi in their next game.
