Lots of tears in this article
Florida feels like a high-performance vehicle pushing to its speed limit. It's tearing down a narrowing road at a rate that leaves no margin. The wall ahead isn't theoretical. It's visible and closing fast.
The only thing between that machine and a catastrophic collision is Kiffin. He's the emergency brake, the last-second steering correction, the only mechanism that keeps a reckless trajectory from becoming a ruin.
If the Kiffin plan connects, the whole thing could level out, the wheels grabbing just enough road to survive and potentially flourish.
If it doesn't, though, if that single system fails, then there's presently nothing left between the Gators and impact. No airbags. No backup plan. No runoff lane. Just a spectacular, violent crash no one in Gainesville can afford.
