Dial WAS in position to make the play and win the game. He could not.
Anybody else find it odd that Nick E was out there covering Pearsall and it was Dial out on an island all alone with a 6-3 240lb TE with a game on the line? Again, this goes back to putting your guys in the best position to win. OCs are flat out abusing White. It would be one thing for UF to get the ball to Pearsall, their best player, on that play. But they threw the ball 2 yards behind the LOS, on 4th and 11, to a TE to save the game. Why? Bc they new they'd get 5-11 170 LB Dial out there all alone with him. There is no way that pass is thrown if Nick picks him up in the flats.

Nick would have made the tackle I believe.

100%.

On the Pearsall TD, Smith bit on the pump fake. He was supposed to help inside on Pearsall. It wasn't all on Nick. The WR on the left side was running a short route. Really no need for Smith to bite, but he did and it caused him to be late getting back. To say that Smith is having a bad year is an understatement. Not sure what's going on with him.
