How Weis' offense translates to UF

The Florida Gators' toughest test so far this season came in Week 3 against the Tennessee Volunteers, so in preparation for the Alabama Crimson Tide's visit to The Swamp this week, I broke down the coach-copy tape of the Gators' offense from their 33-23 win over the Vols.
