Everyone is ragging and complaining about the Florida offense after another sporadic performance in the loss to Ole Miss on Saturday. But to me, the biggest concern right now isn’t the offense, it’s the defense.
Let’s face it, the defense, especially in the secondary, was not seriously tested in the first three games. Hawaii, Miami and Tennessee simply didn’t have much in the way of a down-field passing game. Ole Miss did with quarterback Jevan Snead and …

The more I think about Urban Meyer’s no-risk approach on offense, the more brilliant it seems.
Heading
into the season, there were still some serious questions about the
defense – at the tackle positions and in the secondary. Meyer and the
defensive coaches were confident the defense would be better than a

With this being the bye week, it seems like a good time reflect on what’s happened so far and what might lie ahead for the Gators.

The Florida offense we saw last Saturday in the big win over Hawaii is
not the offense we will see Saturday night against Miami.
I know, I know, I’m not taking much of a gamble by saying that.
To anyone who saw the game, it had to be obvious the Gators were holding a lot of stuff back in the opener ” mainly Tim Tebow. He threw only 14 passes, carried the ball only nine …
