Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, what a game, what an atmosphere. Glad football is back.<br><br> Nick:​That was a stinker for like 56 minutes.<br><br> Andrew:​Yeah. Really three quarters I would say. Then you had the CJ Henderson pick six opened the floodgates.<br><br> Nick:​Yeah. That started the 4th quarter. That was in the third play of the 4th quarter. Man, that was, for three quarters that was really bad football.<br><br> Andrew:​It was almost like a chess match of who is going to suck first on offense? Who’s going to make that big mistake on offense first, because once you do it, then we’ll open the gates up. Happened. CJ got it, made that play. Tennessee turned it up. Actually, Malik Davis turned it up and had the ball popped out at the goal line. It’s 20-3, just like that.<br><br> Nick:​That’s a huge swing go from 20-3 to 13-10. That’s a hustle play by, I don’t remember the guy from Tennessee. Hustle play on Tennessee’s part.<br><br> Andrew:​Justin Hunter? Is it?<br><br> Nick:​No. Justin Martin maybe.<br><br> Andrew:​Justin Martin, that’s it. Juco DB kid from last year.<br><br> Nick:​Yeah. That was just a hustle play on his part. What a run by Malik. Hit the hole and just gone.<br><br> Andrew:​That’s what I was going to say. It’s a hustle play. Could Malik have caught, ran with the ball a little tighter? Yeah, but, like you said, it’s a hustle play. Something kind of stood out to me. Malik tweeted after the game something about, “I made a mistake. I’ll learn from it.” Jake McGee, who is probably the biggest pro Florida guy out there on Twitter, even though he only played two years at Florida, tweeted, “Never apologize for working hard and doing your best.” That was something that stood out. That was a good run by Malik. We’ll talk about it in a minute, as we get into the running backs, but find more carries for the guy.<br><br> Nick:​Yeah. There’s a fine line when you’ve got four running backs. Perine having 11. Thompson had 7. Toney had 1, and Davis had 4.<br><br> Andrew:​That’s what I’m saying. Here’s my thing. Actually, I’ll save it. I’ll save it for in a minute. We’ll get into that in a minute. Like we said, the 4th quarter kind of got thing started, and who called plays in the 4th quarter, Nick? That wasn’t Doug Nussmeier calling plays.<br><br> Nick:​It was. It was Doug Nussmeier.<br><br> Andrew:​Are we sure?<br><br> Nick:​100%. Doug Nussmeier was calling plays in the 4th quarter.<br><br> Andrew:​You can’t make me believe that. I’m saying that knowing that you’re right, but you still can’t make me believe that, because it just wasn’t Doug Nussmeier calling plays. It was like someone took over his body and called plays, because it actually looked like an offense that was pretty good. The Brandon Powell touchdown, nice play. It was a good play of getting your playmakers out in space and doing it.<br><br> ​Now, I will say this. Florida did do a much better job of getting some of their playmakers the ball. Toney, Hammond, got Malik involved a little bit, and got Brandon Powell involved a little bit. It was coming out party for Kadarius Toney.<br><br> Nick:​Yeah. Finally got that get it to list, and there it was. I’m texting you during the game, “Hey, there’s that stand pass.” They’re just getting the ball out of Feleipe’s hands quickly to get it into somebody else’s, one of your playmaker’s hands. Let them do something.<br><br> Andrew:​We talk about it all the time.
