I'm still trying to figure out what "genious" means, but I'll answer your question anyway. The head coach usually takes the heat for a team loss and gets the glory for wins. In this case, you can say that Zook had wins over LSU and UGA. One may credit UF's defense for our lack of offensive production, I on the other hand blame the players for their lack of offensive effort. Either way, Zook got the win...period. You unwittingly said this..... I'm assuming you made this statement before thinking it through, since Leak had nothing to do with LSU scoring nothing on offense.
The only reason Fl won that game last year was b/c mat had the worst game of his life. Plus it was the same day Don Zimmer got slaped by Ramon Martinez.
