There were lots of people saying AR was hurt when he couldn’t get on the field at UF. In fact the coaches told him to stop doing those pre game backflips.
The fact that AR-15 could do backflips before every game shows he was not really “hurt”. Mullen was sandbagging. He WANTED to play Emory Jones. He thought he was such a genius QB guru that he could turn Jones into a good QB.
He couldn’t.
