Perhaps it is also wishful thinking, but it appears to me that Meyer purposely throttles back once the game is in hand. It's a good coaching strategy - why try run up the points (and risk interceptions), when the game is already won? Against a lesser opponent, he eases up earlier than a dangerous opponent. Even the playcalling is a little more conservative right out of the gate. We were plain vanilla against Vandy, and will be again against FIU. That will make those teams appear better than they are. So be it. Without margin of victory in the computer polls, there is less to be gained by winning big. Call it conservatism, or consider it sportsmanship, but Meyer knows when his opponent is beat and calls off the dogs. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
