Did we dominate? 344 total yards to 141 says, Yes, we dominated-sort of.
But did we put them away like we should have? No. We could have, but the early whistle is part of the game-anyone that has watched countless hours of football throughout the years will tell you the same.
The 4Q started 13-7, and UF has the ball at midfield after an interception, having seemingly figured out our defense on the previous 80-yard TD drive. Through 3 quarters , we are not dominating the scoreboard-it is a one-score game and UF is feeling pretty good right now.
Thankfully, our defense finds its form again and stops UF on our -31 on 4th down.
We then go 3 and Out and UF again has the ball with a chance to take the lead-I’m not feeling the domination at this point in the game deep into the 4Q.
Again, our defense comes through and stops UF,3 and Out, and then we start the drive that seals the game and makes it 19-7 scoring at the 4 min mark.
It is hard for me to say we “dominated” when this game was still in doubt with just 4 minutes to go in the 4th Qtr.
We were clearly the better team, but I'll save "dominated" for the USF-type wins.
