With those teams, 3rd and 3 didn't feel any different to me than 3rd and 13. I really think that's how we should play it now.
We've made the Bowl game. We earned a little credibility within this conference however the season plays out. I think we should aim high here - go big or go home. We could probably stay largely unchanged schematically and beat KY, TN and have a respectable bowl with an 8 win season. I'd rather go aggressive, risk losing those games but also perhaps steal this damn division.

I think that spreading out more would actually play into Florida's hands. The Gators' run D has suffered of late, because of the injury to stat DT Easley. I think sticking with the new running style - more North-South, faster-paced - is their best bet to move the ball. Let's see the pistol, let's see no more than 25 pass attempts.
If they had to score a lot of points to win this game, I'd be all for opening it up, Christensen-style. But with the Florida offense being so bad, I don't think the mad wizardry is necessary.
