Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, we’re a little late on the podcast. Sorry for that. Just travel was bad, and then Labor Day right after. The schedule’s all moved up. We’re coming at it. It’s not going to be a fun podcast though. If you guys are looking for Nick and I to cheer you up, turn it off now. I’ll just go ahead and tell you. I’m not in the mood to cheer anyone up.<br> Nick:                         Yeah. Also apologize for my voice. It was worse yesterday, when we were talking about doing the podcast yesterday while traveling. My voice was even worse than it is now. Don’t adjust your radio or your phone. This is actually how I sound.<br> Andrew:                 Yeah. Let’s start off with one piece of positive news. Really impressed with Dallas. Really impressed with AT&amp;T stadium. There was not a single thing that went unnoticed in that stadium. David and I got to kind of go around the whole area Friday, go in the locker rooms, that kind of stuff. There’s not a single part of things that was not done well. Everything was done well. Nick, probably the most friendly staff of people working there at AT&amp;T stadium that I’ve ever seen.<br> Nick:                         They were great. You know me, the food spread. They had a carving station with ribeye. They had cookies and candy. The food spread that they had was incredible.<br> Andrew:                 Some of the best backed chicken I ever had. My God, that was good. It was fantastic. Overall, AT&amp;T stadium did well. Also Scott Strickland and the Gator Alumni Association did well. That pep rally was very well thought out. Florida was easily 60/40 to Michigan fans. That whole chompville thing really took over. Dallas was definitely pro-Florida on the week. From the time I got there on Thursday till the time I left on Sunday, I saw it. It was very stacked up. Props to them. Props to you, Gator fans.<br> Nick:                         Chompville was working until about the 3rd quarter.<br> Andrew:                 Yeah. Nick, Gators lose. It was a close game for the majority of the game, but it was still a nasty football game. Nick, we watched the worst offensive performance for Florida since maybe the Missouri game of Will Muschamp.<br> Nick:                         No. This is, 192 yards is the second lowest total since the first time Mac played Bama in 2015, the SEC Championship game. They only 180 yards in that game, 192 today. I used that for a story. I was going to say the same as you.<br> Andrew:                 I’m saying the Muschamp Missouri game.<br> Nick:                         I’m saying McElwain’s offense against Alabama in the first SEC Championship game was just as bad as what we saw. You don’t have to back that far.<br> Andrew:                 Yeah. I don’t know, Nick. I don’t know what the answer to the question is. I mean, I do. I do. There has to be a change in play calling. I don’t like to say that, because I don’t like to say that for anybody. I don’t think Doug Nussmeier needs to be gone. Leave him as the quarterback coach. Mac needs to call plays. Florida first 10 plays, first drive of the game, when they’re in scripted plays, are the best offensive plays Florida runs. It’s with tempo. It’s with urgency. It’s the best there is for Florida.<br> Jim McElwain is involved in those scripted plays. That’s when Florida looks good. Mac said it on Saturday, and, Nick, it pissed me off. You know it pissed me off. He said,
