Florida lost the second game of the 2018 season. At the time it wasn’t just a loss but the first loss in more than three decades to the Kentucky Wildcats.
To fans it was devastating, infuriating and puzzling all at the same time. To the team it was the best thing that could have happened to them.
Following that loss the team refocused. Mullen and his coaching staff were able to go back to the film from that week of practice and show the players where they went wrong. They showed them plays where guys weren’t giving 100% effort and weren’t straining.
