00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:03.509
Welcome back to A Peak Inside Gator Football. Allie Peek here.
2
00:00:03.830 --> 00:00:07.750
This video is brought to you by PrizePix. All right, guys,
3
00:00:07.929 --> 00:00:11.009
I have to admit something. I knew Florida's offense looked
4
00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:14.009
good against Auburn. I knew Buster Faulkner called a really
5
00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:17.570
good game. I knew Jaden Baugh was an absolute monster.
6
00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:21.399
But after listening to Jeff Collins break this thing down
7
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.780
on film, I think I may have actually underestimated just
8
00:00:25.899 --> 00:00:29.600
how impressive what Florida did on Saturday night really was.
9
00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:33.750
Collins didn't just come away saying Florida has some good players.
10
00:00:34.469 --> 00:00:37.850
He basically came away saying, guys, this thing is real.
11
00:00:38.189 --> 00:00:42.149
John Summerall is real. Buster Faulkner is real. And maybe
12
00:00:42.429 --> 00:00:46.670
most importantly, Florida is starting to develop an offensive identity
13
00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:50.109
that defenses are going to have a serious problem dealing with.
14
00:00:50.829 --> 00:00:52.649
So I want to go through some of the things
15
00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:55.490
that Collins pointed out because there are several moments where
16
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:59.939
I'm sitting there thinking, okay, that explains a lot. And
17
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:02.619
I think the biggest takeaway from the entire breakdown is
18
00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:05.319
that Florida isn't just lining up with better players and
19
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.560
hoping that somebody makes a play. There's a plan, there
20
00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:13.239
are answers, and there are plays setting up other plays.
21
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.900
And if you've watched Florida football over the last several years,
22
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.900
you know why that feels like such a big deal.
23
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.060
Now let's start with what Colin said right at the beginning.
24
00:01:23.650 --> 00:01:25.780
He's apparently been beating this drum for a few weeks
25
00:01:25.829 --> 00:01:29.659
now that Summerall and Buster Faulkner are the real deal.
26
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:33.319
And people kept responding, yeah, but who have they played? Well,
27
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.219
now they've played somebody. Florida went into Jordan-Hare Stadium in
28
00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:41.969
Summerall's first SEC road game against a defense coordinated by
29
00:01:42.010 --> 00:01:46.069
DJ Durkin and put up 44 points. And Collins gave
30
00:01:46.109 --> 00:01:48.950
some context that I thought was pretty eye-opening. He said
31
00:01:48.989 --> 00:01:51.310
that Durkin has never allowed more than 31 points at
32
00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:56.189
home at Auburn in regulations. Florida scored 44. He said
33
00:01:56.269 --> 00:01:59.069
Auburn has basically never allowed an opponent to get near
34
00:01:59.069 --> 00:02:02.420
500 yards during his time there. Well, Florida did that too.
35
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:05.980
So when we talk about whether what Florida did against
36
00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:09.080
Auburn is sustainable, I think all of this is important.
37
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.340
This wasn't Campbell. This wasn't Florida Atlantic. This was an
38
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.560
SEC defense on the road in one of the tougher
39
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.210
environments in college football. And Florida didn't just survive it.
40
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.530
They dictated the game offensively. We're going to take a
41
00:02:23.629 --> 00:02:26.870
brief break from this video to give some love to PrizePix.
42
00:02:26.889 --> 00:02:29.050
I want to show you guys how it works. Okay,
43
00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:32.629
so you're going to download the PrizePix app. You're going
44
00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:34.509
to play a $ 5 lineup and you're going to use
45
00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:36.590
our code. It's HMA. This is what we're going to
46
00:02:36.629 --> 00:02:39.210
do right now too. I think I am going to
47
00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:45.009
take the more on Jaden Baugh's 1.5 rushing touchdowns. I'm
48
00:02:45.030 --> 00:02:48.500
also going to take the more on Trinidad Chambliss' 1.5
49
00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.819
passing touchdowns. Guys, I think there's going to be a
50
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.099
lot of points scored this weekend. You can just pair
51
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.219
a couple things like that and hit submit. You've got
52
00:02:56.259 --> 00:02:58.560
yourself a lineup. If you're a new user and you
53
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.580
use that code HMA, you play that $ 5 lineup. If
54
00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:05.560
you win, you'll get $ 150 in lineups instantly. We appreciate
55
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.189
PrizePix for all their support. They help keep the lights
56
00:03:08.289 --> 00:03:11.289
on around here. Make sure you download the app, use
57
00:03:11.330 --> 00:03:13.080
the code. You're going to have so much fun with it.
58
00:03:14.530 --> 00:03:16.789
All right. So one of the things that I loved
59
00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:21.210
about Collins' breakdown was how many different ways Florida attacked Auburn.
60
00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:24.539
Sometimes when you score 44 points, you look back and
61
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.939
you realize, okay, one guy had a ridiculous game or
62
00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:31.340
the quarterback hit three deep balls or the defense gave
63
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.780
you short fields. But none of that was really what happened.
64
00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:40.050
Florida created explosives in completely different ways. Screens, play action,
65
00:03:40.349 --> 00:03:44.169
running the football, max protection, formation, motion. There was a
66
00:03:44.210 --> 00:03:47.770
double pass. And even just using Jaden Baugh as a decoy.
67
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:51.610
I think all of that is what makes this offense interesting. Now,
68
00:03:52.469 --> 00:03:56.159
The defense has problems because of all of the different
69
00:03:56.180 --> 00:03:59.300
things that the offense is doing. And every solution that
70
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.060
that defense comes up with creates another problem for them.
71
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.419
The first example Collins shows came right after Florida got
72
00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:10.259
the interception. Florida gets the sudden change opportunity, and instead
73
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.969
of just lining up and taking a shot downfield, they
74
00:04:13.030 --> 00:04:15.509
split Jaden Baugh wide and they create an empty look.
75
00:04:16.449 --> 00:04:19.310
Then they hit Dallas Wilson with a quick tunnel screen.
76
00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:22.910
But here's what Collins really loved. Watch the offensive line.
77
00:04:23.350 --> 00:04:26.910
Those guys are getting out into space and blocking DBs.
78
00:04:27.449 --> 00:04:29.949
Then watch Jaden Baugh. Your star running back is out
79
00:04:29.990 --> 00:04:33.360
there bullying a safety to help spring the play. And
80
00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.579
I think that's kind of an underrated piece in all
81
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.879
of this. We talk a lot about scheme. We talk
82
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.800
a lot about play calling. But Collins pointed out that
83
00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:44.740
plays like that also tell you something about culture. Your
84
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.600
best players are willing to do the dirty work. Baugh
85
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.819
isn't standing out there pretending to block because he knows
86
00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:53.779
he's going to get 20 carries later on in the game.
87
00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:58.220
He is actually trying to bury somebody. Then Florida gets
88
00:04:58.259 --> 00:05:01.699
into third and long, third and 12. Auburn brings pressure.
89
00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:06.319
Florida max protects. And Aaron Filo gets hit, but stands
90
00:05:06.379 --> 00:05:08.600
in there and delivers a strike to VB3 for the
91
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.040
first down. And I think this is another huge development
92
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.360
for Florida. Now the quarterback is showing you something too.
93
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.000
Philo isn't just operating the offense when everything's clean. He's
94
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.459
standing in there against SEC pressure, knowing he's about to
95
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:27.230
get drilled and delivering the football. That's good quarterback play.
96
00:05:27.870 --> 00:05:31.829
And Collins' point about Auburn defensively was also fascinating. If
97
00:05:31.850 --> 00:05:34.029
you're going to bring an all-out blitz and Florida goes
98
00:05:34.089 --> 00:05:37.529
max protection, Auburn needs to have some mechanism to get
99
00:05:37.769 --> 00:05:40.689
out of that pressure because now you're leaving talented Florida
100
00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:46.029
receivers one-on-one. And Florida got exactly the matchup that it wanted.
101
00:05:46.470 --> 00:05:49.230
Philo made the throw. Brown made the play. First down.
102
00:05:50.069 --> 00:05:52.589
But the play that probably bothered Collins the most from
103
00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:56.709
Auburn's perspective was the third and 20 touchdown. Florida wasn't
104
00:05:56.750 --> 00:05:59.209
even trying to score a touchdown. That's the crazy part.
105
00:05:59.490 --> 00:06:02.129
They basically are just trying to stay within field goal range.
106
00:06:02.470 --> 00:06:05.310
They run the football. Auburn brings pressure from the opposite
107
00:06:05.350 --> 00:06:08.810
side and Florida runs away from it. Then Auburn misses tackles.
108
00:06:09.209 --> 00:06:12.110
The contain breaks down. And suddenly third and 20 turns
109
00:06:12.149 --> 00:06:16.730
into six points. Think about how demoralizing that is for defense.
110
00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:19.410
You have them exactly where you want them, third and 20.
111
00:06:19.410 --> 00:06:23.209
They're basically conceding that there's probably kicking a field goal
112
00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:25.240
right there. And the next thing you know, you're giving
113
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.160
up a touchdown instead. And we talked about Auburn's missed
114
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.100
tackles after the game. Collins said Baugh forced 13 of them. 13, guys.
115
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.180
That is ridiculous. But again, the play isn't just Baugh
116
00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:41.310
doing something special. Florida's formation and the defensive pressure created
117
00:06:41.350 --> 00:06:45.509
the opportunity. Then your great player turns that opportunity into
118
00:06:45.550 --> 00:06:49.649
a touchdown. That's the marriage you want between scheme and talent.
119
00:06:50.610 --> 00:06:52.189
And then we get to maybe my favorite part of
120
00:06:52.209 --> 00:06:54.910
the breakdown, the double pass, because this is where you
121
00:06:54.949 --> 00:06:58.399
really start appreciating what Buster Faulkner is doing before the
122
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.819
ball is even snapped. Florida gets into 12 personnel, then
123
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.290
it shifts to quads empty and And now Auburn has
124
00:07:04.310 --> 00:07:07.089
to communicate who is covering who, who's rotating, who is
125
00:07:07.110 --> 00:07:10.470
the deep middle, who's spinning down. And Collins' point was
126
00:07:10.490 --> 00:07:14.649
that Florida basically forced Auburn defenders to change jobs right
127
00:07:14.670 --> 00:07:17.629
before the snap. One second, you think you're coming down
128
00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:20.949
into the box. Now you're the deep safety. And before
129
00:07:20.970 --> 00:07:24.750
you fully process all of that, Florida throws the ball outside.
130
00:07:25.029 --> 00:07:28.569
The defenders come flying downhill. They vacate their deep zones.
131
00:07:28.910 --> 00:07:31.370
And Florida throws the double pass over the top to
132
00:07:31.410 --> 00:07:35.949
Amir Jackson. That's coaching. That is using formation and motion
133
00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:39.509
to force defenders to think. And football gets really difficult
134
00:07:39.529 --> 00:07:43.569
when you're reacting instead of playing. Florida made Auburn react
135
00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:46.180
all night. But I think the most important part of
136
00:07:46.189 --> 00:07:49.149
the entire video involved Jaden Baugh. We've all seen the
137
00:07:49.189 --> 00:07:51.379
rushing yards. We all see the touchdowns. We see the
138
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.939
Heisman pose. We see him running through people. What Collins
139
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.740
showed is how much Baugh affects the defense when he
140
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.939
doesn't get the football. There was a play where Auburn
141
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.370
drops eight defenders into coverage. And Florida uses hard play
142
00:08:05.449 --> 00:08:09.430
action to ball. All five underneath defenders get sucked towards
143
00:08:09.470 --> 00:08:14.180
the line of scrimmage. Why? Because everybody's terrified of number 13.
144
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:17.680
So those linebackers step forward, the deep defenders get stretched,
145
00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:19.959
and suddenly there is a massive window in the middle
146
00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:23.819
of the defense. Philo hits VB3 for another explosive play.
147
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:28.480
That is the next evolution of this offense. If teams
148
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.560
want to load up to try to stop Baugh, fine.
149
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.470
Florida has answers. If they stay back to stop Florida's receivers, fine.
150
00:08:36.490 --> 00:08:38.750
You're going to hand the ball to Jaden Baugh. If
151
00:08:38.809 --> 00:08:42.129
they pressure, Florida can max protect. If they sit in zone,
152
00:08:42.450 --> 00:08:46.159
Florida can use motion and formations to manipulate coverage. That's
153
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.100
what makes this so much harder to defend. Collins also
154
00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:53.039
showed another play where Florida uses a fake cadence. Bilo
155
00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:56.759
sees the pressure. Florida checks the play. Auburn checks the defense.
156
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.860
And then it becomes a chess match. Florida gets into
157
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.919
the better call and Auburn has communication issues up front.
158
00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:06.299
Baugh hits another explosive run. And that's where I think
159
00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:08.820
we have to start giving Aaron Filo some more credit.
160
00:09:09.419 --> 00:09:13.460
People naturally focus on the arm talent, but playing quarterback
161
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.860
at this level isn't just making throws. It's understanding what
162
00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:20.799
you're seeing. It's communicating. It's getting your offense into the
163
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.990
right look. It's recognizing pressure. And according to Collins' breakdown,
164
00:09:25.070 --> 00:09:27.549
Florida was doing that at a very high level Saturday night.
165
00:09:28.309 --> 00:09:31.970
And then fourth and one. This is the play. Game
166
00:09:32.110 --> 00:09:34.750
hanging in the balance. Florida has the ball around its
167
00:09:34.820 --> 00:09:39.240
own 46. And Summerall says, we're going for it. But
168
00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:43.460
Florida doesn't spread everybody out. They bring in... 13T personnel,
169
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.279
three tight ends, an extra tackle. We're not hiding what
170
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.419
we're doing. We're bringing the heavy package and we're coming
171
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.549
right at you. And this is what I absolutely love
172
00:09:53.710 --> 00:09:58.230
about this play. There's creativity throughout this offense. There's motion,
173
00:09:58.250 --> 00:10:02.379
there's misdirection, there's trick plays, there's formation manipulation. But when
174
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:07.279
Florida absolutely has to have one yard, they can also
175
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.809
line up and say, stop us. Fourth and one turns
176
00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:15.769
into 50 plus yards. Jaden's gone. He hits the Heisman
177
00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:18.559
pose in front of the Auburn student section. And Florida
178
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.460
has one of the defining plays of the game. Collins
179
00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:25.039
basically said, analytics may tell you to punt there. John
180
00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:27.590
Summerall wasn't interested. John Summerall and I have a little
181
00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:30.250
beef going on now about punting and how much he
182
00:10:30.289 --> 00:10:32.129
hates it. He probably doesn't know we have that beef,
183
00:10:32.230 --> 00:10:34.990
but we do. But I liked this play. He wanted
184
00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:38.149
to win the football game. And whether you agree with
185
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.220
every fourth down decision Summerall will make during his career
186
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.000
or not, I think Florida fans have already started to
187
00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:48.590
understand his personality. He's aggressive. He trusts his players, and
188
00:10:48.610 --> 00:10:52.450
his team seems to feed off of it. Now, before
189
00:10:52.490 --> 00:10:55.090
we start booking tickets to Atlanta, there is another side
190
00:10:55.110 --> 00:10:58.250
to this. Florida still has things to clean up. Auburn
191
00:10:58.269 --> 00:11:02.889
missed tackles. Auburn had communication problems. Auburn misfit gaps. There
192
00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:06.870
were plays where their defenders simply didn't execute. Ole Miss
193
00:11:06.909 --> 00:11:10.190
is going to watch every second of this tape. They
194
00:11:10.330 --> 00:11:12.629
are going to have answers, and Florida isn't going to
195
00:11:12.669 --> 00:11:16.509
surprise people anymore. That's the next challenge. It's one thing
196
00:11:16.549 --> 00:11:19.120
to have success when people are still figuring out exactly
197
00:11:19.149 --> 00:11:22.700
who you are. It's another thing when defensive coordinators spend
198
00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:25.539
an entire week building a game plan specifically designed to
199
00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:28.299
take away your strengths. That's where we find out how
200
00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:32.059
many answers Buster Faulkner really has. And Collins ended the
201
00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:36.480
segment by making a really interesting comparison to 2015. He
202
00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:39.179
was Florida's defensive coordinator when Ole Miss came into Gainesville
203
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.980
after beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Ole Miss was rolling. Florida
204
00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:45.950
was still trying to prove exactly who it was. And
205
00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:50.070
the Gators absolutely blasted them in the swamp. Now, Collins
206
00:11:50.090 --> 00:11:52.909
sees some similarities. Ole Miss just got the huge win
207
00:11:52.929 --> 00:11:56.330
over LSU. Now they're coming to Gainesville. Florida is the
208
00:11:56.490 --> 00:11:59.230
up-and-coming team people are trying to figure out. And the
209
00:11:59.289 --> 00:12:02.980
swamp is going to be insane. I'm not saying history
210
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.340
automatically repeats itself. It doesn't. Ole Miss is a different team.
211
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.279
Florida is a different team. But I completely understand why
212
00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:13.480
Florida fans are making the comparison. And here's what makes
213
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.129
Saturday so interesting. Auburn was the game where Florida proved
214
00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:20.610
it could do this against SEC competition. Ole Miss is
215
00:12:20.649 --> 00:12:22.590
the game where Florida gets to prove that it wasn't
216
00:12:22.610 --> 00:12:26.570
a one-week thing. That is really where my reaction landed
217
00:12:26.649 --> 00:12:29.710
after watching Collins break down the Auburn film. I'm not
218
00:12:29.750 --> 00:12:32.750
walking away saying Florida's perfect. I'm not walking away saying
219
00:12:32.809 --> 00:12:36.269
nobody can stop this offense. I'm not saying Florida finally
220
00:12:36.330 --> 00:12:39.769
has all the answers, but it looks like it has
221
00:12:39.789 --> 00:12:43.399
a lot of them. And maybe more importantly, Florida looks
222
00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:46.740
like it knows exactly who it wants to be. Physical
223
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.460
offensive line, a superstar running back, playmakers on the outside,
224
00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:53.399
a quarterback who can manage the chess match before the
225
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.340
snap and makes throws under pressure, and an offensive coordinator
226
00:12:57.379 --> 00:13:00.659
who understands how to use all of it. For years,
227
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.210
Florida fans have watched games and wondered, what is this
228
00:13:04.429 --> 00:13:07.870
offense trying to be? I don't think we're wondering anymore.
229
00:13:08.870 --> 00:13:11.590
And now comes the fun part. Ole Miss, better opponent,
230
00:13:11.730 --> 00:13:15.610
bigger spotlights. Everybody has the Auburn tape. Everybody has seen
231
00:13:15.649 --> 00:13:18.629
what Baugh can do. Everybody has seen what Faulkner can do.
232
00:13:19.230 --> 00:13:22.750
So what's Florida's counterpunch? Because if Buster Faulkner has another
233
00:13:22.769 --> 00:13:25.100
game like this one, we're going to be having a
234
00:13:25.129 --> 00:13:28.440
very different conversation about this Florida offense by Saturday night.
235
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:30.899
Let me know what you guys think. What was your
236
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.919
biggest takeaway from Jeff Collins' film breakdown? Was it the
237
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.279
play calling? Was it Jaden Baugh, Aaron Filo, the offensive line?
238
00:13:37.700 --> 00:13:41.179
Or just how different this offense looks schematically? Let me
239
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.049
know down in the comments. As always, make sure you

1
00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:03.509
Welcome back to A Peak Inside Gator Football. Allie Peek here.
2
00:00:03.830 --> 00:00:07.750
This video is brought to you by PrizePix. All right, guys,
3
00:00:07.929 --> 00:00:11.009
I have to admit something. I knew Florida's offense looked
4
00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:14.009
good against Auburn. I knew Buster Faulkner called a really
5
00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:17.570
good game. I knew Jaden Baugh was an absolute monster.
6
00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:21.399
But after listening to Jeff Collins break this thing down
7
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.780
on film, I think I may have actually underestimated just
8
00:00:25.899 --> 00:00:29.600
how impressive what Florida did on Saturday night really was.
9
00:00:30.660 --> 00:00:33.750
Collins didn't just come away saying Florida has some good players.
10
00:00:34.469 --> 00:00:37.850
He basically came away saying, guys, this thing is real.
11
00:00:38.189 --> 00:00:42.149
John Summerall is real. Buster Faulkner is real. And maybe
12
00:00:42.429 --> 00:00:46.670
most importantly, Florida is starting to develop an offensive identity
13
00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:50.109
that defenses are going to have a serious problem dealing with.
14
00:00:50.829 --> 00:00:52.649
So I want to go through some of the things
15
00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:55.490
that Collins pointed out because there are several moments where
16
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:59.939
I'm sitting there thinking, okay, that explains a lot. And
17
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:02.619
I think the biggest takeaway from the entire breakdown is
18
00:01:02.659 --> 00:01:05.319
that Florida isn't just lining up with better players and
19
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.560
hoping that somebody makes a play. There's a plan, there
20
00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:13.239
are answers, and there are plays setting up other plays.
21
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.900
And if you've watched Florida football over the last several years,
22
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.900
you know why that feels like such a big deal.
23
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.060
Now let's start with what Colin said right at the beginning.
24
00:01:23.650 --> 00:01:25.780
He's apparently been beating this drum for a few weeks
25
00:01:25.829 --> 00:01:29.659
now that Summerall and Buster Faulkner are the real deal.
26
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:33.319
And people kept responding, yeah, but who have they played? Well,
27
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.219
now they've played somebody. Florida went into Jordan-Hare Stadium in
28
00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:41.969
Summerall's first SEC road game against a defense coordinated by
29
00:01:42.010 --> 00:01:46.069
DJ Durkin and put up 44 points. And Collins gave
30
00:01:46.109 --> 00:01:48.950
some context that I thought was pretty eye-opening. He said
31
00:01:48.989 --> 00:01:51.310
that Durkin has never allowed more than 31 points at
32
00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:56.189
home at Auburn in regulations. Florida scored 44. He said
33
00:01:56.269 --> 00:01:59.069
Auburn has basically never allowed an opponent to get near
34
00:01:59.069 --> 00:02:02.420
500 yards during his time there. Well, Florida did that too.
35
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:05.980
So when we talk about whether what Florida did against
36
00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:09.080
Auburn is sustainable, I think all of this is important.
37
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.340
This wasn't Campbell. This wasn't Florida Atlantic. This was an
38
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.560
SEC defense on the road in one of the tougher
39
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.210
environments in college football. And Florida didn't just survive it.
40
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.530
They dictated the game offensively. We're going to take a
41
00:02:23.629 --> 00:02:26.870
brief break from this video to give some love to PrizePix.
42
00:02:26.889 --> 00:02:29.050
I want to show you guys how it works. Okay,
43
00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:32.629
so you're going to download the PrizePix app. You're going
44
00:02:32.650 --> 00:02:34.509
to play a $ 5 lineup and you're going to use
45
00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:36.590
our code. It's HMA. This is what we're going to
46
00:02:36.629 --> 00:02:39.210
do right now too. I think I am going to
47
00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:45.009
take the more on Jaden Baugh's 1.5 rushing touchdowns. I'm
48
00:02:45.030 --> 00:02:48.500
also going to take the more on Trinidad Chambliss' 1.5
49
00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.819
passing touchdowns. Guys, I think there's going to be a
50
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.099
lot of points scored this weekend. You can just pair
51
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.219
a couple things like that and hit submit. You've got
52
00:02:56.259 --> 00:02:58.560
yourself a lineup. If you're a new user and you
53
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.580
use that code HMA, you play that $ 5 lineup. If
54
00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:05.560
you win, you'll get $ 150 in lineups instantly. We appreciate
55
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.189
PrizePix for all their support. They help keep the lights
56
00:03:08.289 --> 00:03:11.289
on around here. Make sure you download the app, use
57
00:03:11.330 --> 00:03:13.080
the code. You're going to have so much fun with it.
58
00:03:14.530 --> 00:03:16.789
All right. So one of the things that I loved
59
00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:21.210
about Collins' breakdown was how many different ways Florida attacked Auburn.
60
00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:24.539
Sometimes when you score 44 points, you look back and
61
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.939
you realize, okay, one guy had a ridiculous game or
62
00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:31.340
the quarterback hit three deep balls or the defense gave
63
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.780
you short fields. But none of that was really what happened.
64
00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:40.050
Florida created explosives in completely different ways. Screens, play action,
65
00:03:40.349 --> 00:03:44.169
running the football, max protection, formation, motion. There was a
66
00:03:44.210 --> 00:03:47.770
double pass. And even just using Jaden Baugh as a decoy.
67
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:51.610
I think all of that is what makes this offense interesting. Now,
68
00:03:52.469 --> 00:03:56.159
The defense has problems because of all of the different
69
00:03:56.180 --> 00:03:59.300
things that the offense is doing. And every solution that
70
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.060
that defense comes up with creates another problem for them.
71
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.419
The first example Collins shows came right after Florida got
72
00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:10.259
the interception. Florida gets the sudden change opportunity, and instead
73
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.969
of just lining up and taking a shot downfield, they
74
00:04:13.030 --> 00:04:15.509
split Jaden Baugh wide and they create an empty look.
75
00:04:16.449 --> 00:04:19.310
Then they hit Dallas Wilson with a quick tunnel screen.
76
00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:22.910
But here's what Collins really loved. Watch the offensive line.
77
00:04:23.350 --> 00:04:26.910
Those guys are getting out into space and blocking DBs.
78
00:04:27.449 --> 00:04:29.949
Then watch Jaden Baugh. Your star running back is out
79
00:04:29.990 --> 00:04:33.360
there bullying a safety to help spring the play. And
80
00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.579
I think that's kind of an underrated piece in all
81
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.879
of this. We talk a lot about scheme. We talk
82
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.800
a lot about play calling. But Collins pointed out that
83
00:04:40.899 --> 00:04:44.740
plays like that also tell you something about culture. Your
84
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.600
best players are willing to do the dirty work. Baugh
85
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.819
isn't standing out there pretending to block because he knows
86
00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:53.779
he's going to get 20 carries later on in the game.
87
00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:58.220
He is actually trying to bury somebody. Then Florida gets
88
00:04:58.259 --> 00:05:01.699
into third and long, third and 12. Auburn brings pressure.
89
00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:06.319
Florida max protects. And Aaron Filo gets hit, but stands
90
00:05:06.379 --> 00:05:08.600
in there and delivers a strike to VB3 for the
91
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.040
first down. And I think this is another huge development
92
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.360
for Florida. Now the quarterback is showing you something too.
93
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.000
Philo isn't just operating the offense when everything's clean. He's
94
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.459
standing in there against SEC pressure, knowing he's about to
95
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:27.230
get drilled and delivering the football. That's good quarterback play.
96
00:05:27.870 --> 00:05:31.829
And Collins' point about Auburn defensively was also fascinating. If
97
00:05:31.850 --> 00:05:34.029
you're going to bring an all-out blitz and Florida goes
98
00:05:34.089 --> 00:05:37.529
max protection, Auburn needs to have some mechanism to get
99
00:05:37.769 --> 00:05:40.689
out of that pressure because now you're leaving talented Florida
100
00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:46.029
receivers one-on-one. And Florida got exactly the matchup that it wanted.
101
00:05:46.470 --> 00:05:49.230
Philo made the throw. Brown made the play. First down.
102
00:05:50.069 --> 00:05:52.589
But the play that probably bothered Collins the most from
103
00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:56.709
Auburn's perspective was the third and 20 touchdown. Florida wasn't
104
00:05:56.750 --> 00:05:59.209
even trying to score a touchdown. That's the crazy part.
105
00:05:59.490 --> 00:06:02.129
They basically are just trying to stay within field goal range.
106
00:06:02.470 --> 00:06:05.310
They run the football. Auburn brings pressure from the opposite
107
00:06:05.350 --> 00:06:08.810
side and Florida runs away from it. Then Auburn misses tackles.
108
00:06:09.209 --> 00:06:12.110
The contain breaks down. And suddenly third and 20 turns
109
00:06:12.149 --> 00:06:16.730
into six points. Think about how demoralizing that is for defense.
110
00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:19.410
You have them exactly where you want them, third and 20.
111
00:06:19.410 --> 00:06:23.209
They're basically conceding that there's probably kicking a field goal
112
00:06:23.250 --> 00:06:25.240
right there. And the next thing you know, you're giving
113
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.160
up a touchdown instead. And we talked about Auburn's missed
114
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.100
tackles after the game. Collins said Baugh forced 13 of them. 13, guys.
115
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.180
That is ridiculous. But again, the play isn't just Baugh
116
00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:41.310
doing something special. Florida's formation and the defensive pressure created
117
00:06:41.350 --> 00:06:45.509
the opportunity. Then your great player turns that opportunity into
118
00:06:45.550 --> 00:06:49.649
a touchdown. That's the marriage you want between scheme and talent.
119
00:06:50.610 --> 00:06:52.189
And then we get to maybe my favorite part of
120
00:06:52.209 --> 00:06:54.910
the breakdown, the double pass, because this is where you
121
00:06:54.949 --> 00:06:58.399
really start appreciating what Buster Faulkner is doing before the
122
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.819
ball is even snapped. Florida gets into 12 personnel, then
123
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.290
it shifts to quads empty and And now Auburn has
124
00:07:04.310 --> 00:07:07.089
to communicate who is covering who, who's rotating, who is
125
00:07:07.110 --> 00:07:10.470
the deep middle, who's spinning down. And Collins' point was
126
00:07:10.490 --> 00:07:14.649
that Florida basically forced Auburn defenders to change jobs right
127
00:07:14.670 --> 00:07:17.629
before the snap. One second, you think you're coming down
128
00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:20.949
into the box. Now you're the deep safety. And before
129
00:07:20.970 --> 00:07:24.750
you fully process all of that, Florida throws the ball outside.
130
00:07:25.029 --> 00:07:28.569
The defenders come flying downhill. They vacate their deep zones.
131
00:07:28.910 --> 00:07:31.370
And Florida throws the double pass over the top to
132
00:07:31.410 --> 00:07:35.949
Amir Jackson. That's coaching. That is using formation and motion
133
00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:39.509
to force defenders to think. And football gets really difficult
134
00:07:39.529 --> 00:07:43.569
when you're reacting instead of playing. Florida made Auburn react
135
00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:46.180
all night. But I think the most important part of
136
00:07:46.189 --> 00:07:49.149
the entire video involved Jaden Baugh. We've all seen the
137
00:07:49.189 --> 00:07:51.379
rushing yards. We all see the touchdowns. We see the
138
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.939
Heisman pose. We see him running through people. What Collins
139
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.740
showed is how much Baugh affects the defense when he
140
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.939
doesn't get the football. There was a play where Auburn
141
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.370
drops eight defenders into coverage. And Florida uses hard play
142
00:08:05.449 --> 00:08:09.430
action to ball. All five underneath defenders get sucked towards
143
00:08:09.470 --> 00:08:14.180
the line of scrimmage. Why? Because everybody's terrified of number 13.
144
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:17.680
So those linebackers step forward, the deep defenders get stretched,
145
00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:19.959
and suddenly there is a massive window in the middle
146
00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:23.819
of the defense. Philo hits VB3 for another explosive play.
147
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:28.480
That is the next evolution of this offense. If teams
148
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.560
want to load up to try to stop Baugh, fine.
149
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.470
Florida has answers. If they stay back to stop Florida's receivers, fine.
150
00:08:36.490 --> 00:08:38.750
You're going to hand the ball to Jaden Baugh. If
151
00:08:38.809 --> 00:08:42.129
they pressure, Florida can max protect. If they sit in zone,
152
00:08:42.450 --> 00:08:46.159
Florida can use motion and formations to manipulate coverage. That's
153
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.100
what makes this so much harder to defend. Collins also
154
00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:53.039
showed another play where Florida uses a fake cadence. Bilo
155
00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:56.759
sees the pressure. Florida checks the play. Auburn checks the defense.
156
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.860
And then it becomes a chess match. Florida gets into
157
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.919
the better call and Auburn has communication issues up front.
158
00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:06.299
Baugh hits another explosive run. And that's where I think
159
00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:08.820
we have to start giving Aaron Filo some more credit.
160
00:09:09.419 --> 00:09:13.460
People naturally focus on the arm talent, but playing quarterback
161
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.860
at this level isn't just making throws. It's understanding what
162
00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:20.799
you're seeing. It's communicating. It's getting your offense into the
163
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.990
right look. It's recognizing pressure. And according to Collins' breakdown,
164
00:09:25.070 --> 00:09:27.549
Florida was doing that at a very high level Saturday night.
165
00:09:28.309 --> 00:09:31.970
And then fourth and one. This is the play. Game
166
00:09:32.110 --> 00:09:34.750
hanging in the balance. Florida has the ball around its
167
00:09:34.820 --> 00:09:39.240
own 46. And Summerall says, we're going for it. But
168
00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:43.460
Florida doesn't spread everybody out. They bring in... 13T personnel,
169
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.279
three tight ends, an extra tackle. We're not hiding what
170
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.419
we're doing. We're bringing the heavy package and we're coming
171
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.549
right at you. And this is what I absolutely love
172
00:09:53.710 --> 00:09:58.230
about this play. There's creativity throughout this offense. There's motion,
173
00:09:58.250 --> 00:10:02.379
there's misdirection, there's trick plays, there's formation manipulation. But when
174
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:07.279
Florida absolutely has to have one yard, they can also
175
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.809
line up and say, stop us. Fourth and one turns
176
00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:15.769
into 50 plus yards. Jaden's gone. He hits the Heisman
177
00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:18.559
pose in front of the Auburn student section. And Florida
178
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.460
has one of the defining plays of the game. Collins
179
00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:25.039
basically said, analytics may tell you to punt there. John
180
00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:27.590
Summerall wasn't interested. John Summerall and I have a little
181
00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:30.250
beef going on now about punting and how much he
182
00:10:30.289 --> 00:10:32.129
hates it. He probably doesn't know we have that beef,
183
00:10:32.230 --> 00:10:34.990
but we do. But I liked this play. He wanted
184
00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:38.149
to win the football game. And whether you agree with
185
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.220
every fourth down decision Summerall will make during his career
186
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.000
or not, I think Florida fans have already started to
187
00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:48.590
understand his personality. He's aggressive. He trusts his players, and
188
00:10:48.610 --> 00:10:52.450
his team seems to feed off of it. Now, before
189
00:10:52.490 --> 00:10:55.090
we start booking tickets to Atlanta, there is another side
190
00:10:55.110 --> 00:10:58.250
to this. Florida still has things to clean up. Auburn
191
00:10:58.269 --> 00:11:02.889
missed tackles. Auburn had communication problems. Auburn misfit gaps. There
192
00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:06.870
were plays where their defenders simply didn't execute. Ole Miss
193
00:11:06.909 --> 00:11:10.190
is going to watch every second of this tape. They
194
00:11:10.330 --> 00:11:12.629
are going to have answers, and Florida isn't going to
195
00:11:12.669 --> 00:11:16.509
surprise people anymore. That's the next challenge. It's one thing
196
00:11:16.549 --> 00:11:19.120
to have success when people are still figuring out exactly
197
00:11:19.149 --> 00:11:22.700
who you are. It's another thing when defensive coordinators spend
198
00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:25.539
an entire week building a game plan specifically designed to
199
00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:28.299
take away your strengths. That's where we find out how
200
00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:32.059
many answers Buster Faulkner really has. And Collins ended the
201
00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:36.480
segment by making a really interesting comparison to 2015. He
202
00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:39.179
was Florida's defensive coordinator when Ole Miss came into Gainesville
203
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.980
after beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Ole Miss was rolling. Florida
204
00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:45.950
was still trying to prove exactly who it was. And
205
00:11:45.970 --> 00:11:50.070
the Gators absolutely blasted them in the swamp. Now, Collins
206
00:11:50.090 --> 00:11:52.909
sees some similarities. Ole Miss just got the huge win
207
00:11:52.929 --> 00:11:56.330
over LSU. Now they're coming to Gainesville. Florida is the
208
00:11:56.490 --> 00:11:59.230
up-and-coming team people are trying to figure out. And the
209
00:11:59.289 --> 00:12:02.980
swamp is going to be insane. I'm not saying history
210
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.340
automatically repeats itself. It doesn't. Ole Miss is a different team.
211
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.279
Florida is a different team. But I completely understand why
212
00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:13.480
Florida fans are making the comparison. And here's what makes
213
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.129
Saturday so interesting. Auburn was the game where Florida proved
214
00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:20.610
it could do this against SEC competition. Ole Miss is
215
00:12:20.649 --> 00:12:22.590
the game where Florida gets to prove that it wasn't
216
00:12:22.610 --> 00:12:26.570
a one-week thing. That is really where my reaction landed
217
00:12:26.649 --> 00:12:29.710
after watching Collins break down the Auburn film. I'm not
218
00:12:29.750 --> 00:12:32.750
walking away saying Florida's perfect. I'm not walking away saying
219
00:12:32.809 --> 00:12:36.269
nobody can stop this offense. I'm not saying Florida finally
220
00:12:36.330 --> 00:12:39.769
has all the answers, but it looks like it has
221
00:12:39.789 --> 00:12:43.399
a lot of them. And maybe more importantly, Florida looks
222
00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:46.740
like it knows exactly who it wants to be. Physical
223
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.460
offensive line, a superstar running back, playmakers on the outside,
224
00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:53.399
a quarterback who can manage the chess match before the
225
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.340
snap and makes throws under pressure, and an offensive coordinator
226
00:12:57.379 --> 00:13:00.659
who understands how to use all of it. For years,
227
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.210
Florida fans have watched games and wondered, what is this
228
00:13:04.429 --> 00:13:07.870
offense trying to be? I don't think we're wondering anymore.
229
00:13:08.870 --> 00:13:11.590
And now comes the fun part. Ole Miss, better opponent,
230
00:13:11.730 --> 00:13:15.610
bigger spotlights. Everybody has the Auburn tape. Everybody has seen
231
00:13:15.649 --> 00:13:18.629
what Baugh can do. Everybody has seen what Faulkner can do.
232
00:13:19.230 --> 00:13:22.750
So what's Florida's counterpunch? Because if Buster Faulkner has another
233
00:13:22.769 --> 00:13:25.100
game like this one, we're going to be having a
234
00:13:25.129 --> 00:13:28.440
very different conversation about this Florida offense by Saturday night.
235
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:30.899
Let me know what you guys think. What was your
236
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.919
biggest takeaway from Jeff Collins' film breakdown? Was it the
237
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.279
play calling? Was it Jaden Baugh, Aaron Filo, the offensive line?
238
00:13:37.700 --> 00:13:41.179
Or just how different this offense looks schematically? Let me
239
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.049
know down in the comments. As always, make sure you
