Went looking at some of their game logs and added this up:

Not counting their New Mexico St. win to start the season, against ECU, Kentucky, and Tennessee, they've run 215 offensive plays and only have 9 plays that went for 20 or more yards. 5 of those 9 came against ECU. So, against SEC competition, only 2.7% of the time did they have plays go longer than 20 yards.

For comparison, not counting UT-Martin, we've run 221 plays and have 23 plays of 20+. Against SEC competition and two damn good defenses, 10% of the time we have had plays go longer than 20 yards.

So, against the 11th and 12th ranked SEC defenses, Florida has managed only 4 big plays. We've managed 15 big plays against the 2nd and 6th ranked SEC defenses.

If we do nothing else right, we should still at least be able to outscore them. Their offense sucks.
