Randy Shannon’s winning formula was anything but winning this weekend against Missouri. He preached in the week leading up to the game that despite former coach Jim McElwain parting with Florida and despite three losses in a row, his Gators just needed to focus on beating Missouri, and everything else would work out. He was wrong.
Florida was instead throttled by the Tigers 45-16, which left Shannon searching for answers in his postgame news conference. He had none. At least not yet.
He mentioned over and over that film needs to be evaluated before any conclusions can be drawn.
