I am glad that we get the opportunity to see just Tebow on the field without Percy Harvin. I think that Harvin gave Florida a double barrel offense and you had to cover the whole field. Now the center of attention is all in the backfield with Tebow and Moody.
Not sure if you saw the SEC Championship game. Harvin didn't play. We beat bama 31-20. Pretty good game.
Yo LockDown,
But the buzz is they will be better now that Timmy is taking more snaps under center..
My opinion is they putting more in to help Timmy draft stock out since Urbans killed it.
They will not be as good as last year. Cooper, Moore, Nelson, and Thompson are average receivers. I think most would agree with me in saying that if Bama had our athletes in their secondary they would be the SEC champs. Tebow didn't throw that well against Oklahoma. Harvin won that game for Florida. And he won't be there to bail them out this year coming up.

Lockdown, I agree with your point about Tebow playing like crap against Oklahoma. OKlahoma greatly outplayed them in the first half, but they kept getting to the goal line and came away with nothing when they should have had a couple of TDs. Without Harvin breaking those huge plays, the Gators lose. Somebody is going to have to make up for Harvin's 30 TDs last year (23 rushing, 7 receiving)...
That being said, let's be honest here. I expect the Gators to be better this year. The combo of Demps, Moody, James, and Rainey will come close to the production from last year on the ground. That WR corp looks a little better to me though. I will agree that Cooper is pathetic, but Nelson will be solid, and I expect Deonte Thompson to explode this year. I would look for Debose to make a big splash too. He fits that offense perfectly. And don't forget, they still have Hernandez at TE to throw to...
And on D, they return all 11 starters from a top 10 defense last year led by Spikes who's prolly the 3rd best defender in the country, Dunlap who is the best pash rusher in the SEC besides Hardy, and the best DB corp in the nation with Jenkins, Black, Wright, and Haden...
Vader was talking more about their O. Also look for the defenses in the SEC to catch up with Florida somewhat from last year. but Nelson isn't that good. Thompson still has to show he's a good receiver. He had opportunities with Harvin out and didn't do too much with them. Also they're offense was most effective when Harvin was playing. Harvin made it easy on the other guys. We'll see how they do without him. They're D will be good though. I'm not completely sold on the secondary being the best in the country but they are good.
