Who's right in the Florida-Tennessee feud?

Sep. 22, 2009 2:05 pm
Ah, don't you just love Southeastern Conference football?
The running feud between Florida head coach Urban Meyer and Tennessee's Lane Kiffin just got extended Monday when Meyer accused Kiffin and Tennessee of playing not to win but to keep last Saturday's game close. Florida won, 23-13, but by all accounts was not very impressive.
Meyer criticized Kiffin for not pushing the envelope offensively after Tennessee recovered a Florida fumble at the Gator 2.
"They wanted to shorten the game," Meyer said. "I remember looking out there and there's 10 minutes left in the game and there's no no-huddle, they are down, I think it was 23-6 and [there's no] urgency."
Meyer also went on to say his team had been hit by the flu, which partially explained its lackluster performance. Kiffin didn't want to respond to Meyer's comments Tuesday but finally did after a reporter asked the coach if he was worried about his team getting the flu.
"I don't know," he said. "I guess we'll wait, and after we're not excited about a performance, we'll tell you everybody was sick."
Ah, gotta love the SEC. So who you think is the bad guy in this feud?
