Coming off the heels of what looked to be the most embarrassing loss of Dan Mullen’s tenure as the head coach at Florida, Gators Territory takes a look at what went wrong last night to lead to the 40-17 shellacking by the Gamecocks.

In short, just about everything went wrong for the Gators, but here are a few things that really stood out.

All year, the Gators have been a team that has relied on the running game to get their offense going. Heading into the game, Florida had the sixth-ranked rushing attack in the country but didn’t run the ball a single time in the first two drives.

When they finally decided to run the ball, the offensive line got no push against the 88th-ranked rushing defense in the country that before last night was giving up just south of 169 yards per game on the ground.

I said in my 3-2-1 article earlier this week that in order for South Carolina to keep the game close and possibly win, they would need to force turnovers. While that wasn’t entirely true as the Gamecocks offense looked like a completely different animal with Jason Brown at the helm, the defense was still able to force two turnovers: one interception and one fumble that was returned for a touchdown just before the half.

That is the second week in a row that the Gators have turned the ball over just before half that led to points for the opposing team.

For the second time this year, a team ranked outside the top 100, yes, you read that right, in rushing offense was able to gash the Florida defense for its highest rushing total for the season.

South Carolina came into the game ranked 108th in rushing yards per game, averaging just over 117 yards per contest. They were able to rack up 284 yards on the ground on Saturday night with two running backs eclipsing the 100-yard mark. As a team, the Gamecocks averaged almost 6.8 yards per carry on the night.

Throughout the entire night, the Gators' coaches looked like they didn’t want to be there. Every time something big would happen in the game, good or bad, I would look to see if there was a reaction from the coaches and oftentimes saw nothing. There was no fire or passion coming from anyone on the coaching staff from what I was able to see.

The camera constantly showed Dan Mullen and Todd Grantham in between plays, and they looked bewildered and almost checked out. The part that really got me was when SEC Network sideline reporter Alyssa Lang spoke to Dan Mullen after halftime and asked him if we would see any adjustments on either side of the ball, and his response was short and baffling: "Nope."

I’m no expert, but when you go into halftime down 30-10, it kind of seems like some sort of adjustments need to be made.
