This team did what it had to do against lower competition. But on the biggest stages, the Bulldogs showed just enough cracks to prove they weren't quite good enough for a shot at the national title.

WOW, compare that piece to the fluff piece written by the UF writer-night and day. This young person (working for the Red & Black, is pretty objective and you could argue more like Dooley/Munson than anything. That is my train of thought typically as well but I can't but help wonder if the expectations of this young person was out of whack for the 2018 season, yes we had some bad games but take away the Texas game, and you have almost the same type season as 2017, and with a much younger team.
