Urban making excuses

Chris Low from ESPN wrote a great article about Urban Meyer, after his win against Tennessee, and why he did not have to open up the Florida offense. I provided the link below:

Urban made comments that he did not feel he had to open the Gator offense due to the fact that Lane Kiffin was not trying to win the game. Meyer stated "When I saw them starting to hand the ball off, I didn't feel they were going for the win". Meyer made this statement because after Tennessee recovered a fumble on on their own two with 11:37 left in the game. Kiffin opted  not to go straight to his passing game to move the ball because they had not been very effective in moving the ball through the air. Tennessee still scored on that position to cut the lead to 23-13. I have to support Kiffin on this, if you were not having success in the passing game then why would you start throwing the ball and risk an interception. 

You have to love Meyer after all the hoopla all week about how his team was going to score 60 points and embarrass Kiffin and Tennessee on Saturday he only could only score 23 and win by 10 points. Urban you still got the win, why do you have to make excuses, maybe Tennessee is a lot better than you thought. I have never liked Urban Meyer and this kind of stuff just reinforcing why he is an arrogant coach and not a good example of how a SEC coach should act. Try to show some class next time Mr. Meyer.
