I can't help but chuckle every time I see this headline on SI.com: Heavy underdog Florida annihilates Ohio State 41-14

There's just something funny about the word annihilates...

I'm not a football coach, but OSU's defensive coordinator should be slapped over the head for his inability to recognize the fact that Florida was simply throwing underneath the zone coverage. Zone coverages usually leave gaping holes in the middle of field; Florida simply found those holes and exploited the hell out of them. What surprised me the most was that OSU didn't change to a 4-3 defense (They instead chose to continue to rush three or four linebackers and drop back into zone coverage) after falling behind 21-7.
