why I think UF is in trouble for the title game

[windcrysmary]

they lose their off coord

controvery over whether or not he'll be on the sidelines

he will but he won't call the plays...

oops..change that he will call the plays...

meyer tells media notre dame would be his dream job...

OL line coach now being reported to be in charge of play calling...

this team appears to be in dissaray... too much distraction and confusion... can't have it when you have a big game like this coming up...

I'm liking OK more and more even without their running back....

Outside of Meyer saying that ND would be his dream job, I think all the other "facts" you mention have very little effect on the game itself.

The staff at UF has been game-planning and running the same offense all year. For that matter, they've been running it for a while that same way. I really don't think the players care who is on the sideline calling the plays. And I really don't think that it makes a difference for a one game set up considering that these guys have been doing it together all year.

When Cutcliffe took the job at Ole Miss, UT had to play the national title game with Randy Sanders at OC. It didn't effect them too much because the players and the coaching staff had been running that same system all year. They really didn't need Cutcliffe at that point. Now, they eventually saw a drop off over the next few years because Sanders wasn't as good as Cutcliffe, but for one game at the end of the year, the difference was negligible.
