Florida missed an early field goal, turned the ball over on downs at the UGA 11, and showed mercy by killing the clock late instead of scoring again. That's all that kept the Gators from winning by closer to 35 or 40. I still don't think Mark Richt should be fired by any means, but holy moly, has he made a mess of this season. (Also: kudos, Jim McElwain. Hell of a debut.)
