Probably the most interesting thing that came out of the first two practices was Urban Meyer admitting that they were looking at Joe Haden as possibly a part time player at quarterback in the “Wildcat” formation. Haden was a quarterback in high school and broke all of the state of Maryland's passing records before he left. He is now an All-American cornerback, but that evidently won't keep them from giving him a look on offense.
| CUM is going to use his AA.

| Hopefully he gets hurt. Jk...but seriously the Wildcat is overplayed if you ask me.

| Interesting tidbit, but a bait-and-switch title.
You had my gears turning, there.  | |

| I have a very good feeling that Kiffin will use Berry in every way that he can. | |

| We heard that coming out of practice on Friday. Sadly, practice is closed for the rest of the year now, so information coming out of Gainesville is going to be limited, but I doubt you'll see this formation too often, if at all.
I think its one of those Urban Meyer psychological warfare bombs, where he threatens you with this formation, and hopes people prepare for it, but they'll never see it.
Like he might use it against CSU for a couple of plays just to say, "I can pull this out whenever I want so you better not forget about it..."
I don't think it will make a huge impact, however. | |

| Not sure why CUM would use Haden in a wildcat package when he has Tebow. They are in the wildcat package every play when Tebow is in there IMO, because you never know if he going to run it, throw it, or pitch it. Maybe Haden would mix it up a little, but doesn't make much sense to me. Oh well, that's their problem. | |

I LOVE IT! | Urban and staff add a new wrinkle every year. It's been that way ever since he arrived in 2005. I think it's working. | |

| Kiffin has said at media day that he's not going to use berry on offense b/c he feels it's probably the player's last year and he doesn't want to get him hurt before that. He wants to use berry to the best of his abilities so the scouts can see, but he already said he's not having berry line up behind center | |

Tebow is dangerous, but usually not for more than 5-10 yards at a time. | |
