You know it's a bad team when we scored more points then they had total offensive yards. Really.
Well when you look at their record, they haven't hardly won any games all year. That and the division they are in explains their score. (or lack of score).
I really hate to see games like this.... however, the finger shouldn't be pointed at Florida here. All teams do games like this. My father calls them "prostitute games", because the other team is paid to come in and "lay down" for an easy screw.
These games do have a good side though. Small colleges like this are paid a big sum of money to play big teams like this. Often $1 to $2 million bucks (of gate receipts). For these small colleges, this easily funds their entire athletic budget for the year and also gives their players a chance to play a 'big' team and in a huge stadium that they would not normally ever get to play in.
As for their yardage.... yeah.... Western Carolina got 24 yards rushing and 35 yards receiving. That's pretty pathetic. The 24 yards rushing was on 28 attempts, so that's .9 yards per attempt. (again pretty bad).
They did do good however with 148 yards on Kickoff return. But that was on 8 Kickoff returns! They got 0 (zero) yards on punt returns though... I guess Florida never had to punt huh? (how often do you see that in a game). For a team that played that bad, I noticed they didn't have any turnovers though. That's good, but doesn't pay the rent.
The ironic thing is the possession time. They are almost equal. I guess that's from them trying to run the ball more and the clock not stopping. Also if you don't get first downs or completed passes, the clock never stops...
Florida lost 90 yards in penalties though... Thats about the only bad thing they did.
The only bad thing about this for Florida is that playing such a lower division non ranked team dropped them one spot in the rankings even though they won 62 to 0.
