Florida's best unit was the secondary?

The run was working really well?

Is that enough for you?

because the game was in control at the time. Why risk injury to wide receivers and the QB needlessly. Landry was not 100% and the strength of their defense is the secondary. In addition we are ahead and trying to use as much clock as we can with the understanding that they are not a quick strike offense. Get out of the game as quickly as possible and move on the next win.

When you run the ball the clock continues to run and therefore limits the time that the opposing offense can have the ball. When you throw the ball there are a couple of things that can happen: A. In football an incomplete pass stops the clock therefore giving the opposing offense more time on the clock. B. The chances of an Int., sack, are greater when you throw the ball.
