After the SEC Media Days, we found out one thing about the 2009 College Football Season: it is going to be All Tebow, All the Time. Blogger Dan Sanoff is going to spend all season just covering Tim Tebow on his blog TimTeblog.com. He won’t have any trouble finding content with the crazy media coverage Tim has got so far this year. Who will be the first media outlet to break the news when Tebow shaves his beard?
Future of Gators Football
Did you miss the Big South Media Day? If so, you missed the news that the Gators are opening up against a team picked 5th out of 7 for the Big South. So with a Division I Football Championship Subdivision team picked to finish near the bottom of their conference as an opponent, how do you gauge any success from the game? If we don’t see the second team take the field right after halftime, then something has gone badly wrong. Maybe the Gator Nation will get to watch a lot of the future after Tim Tebow. John Brantley should get plenty of reps to show Gators fan there is nothing to worry about with him under center.
Jeremy Fowler focuses on how the Young Gators are trying to catch Urban Meyer’s eye the first week of practice. Jon Bostic is already making a push to get in the starting line up on the Gators defense, while Xavier Nixon has Coach Meyer saying “there’s a chance” he’ll get quality snaps in 2009.” Stephen Alli was a nice surprise to the 2009 class, but signs are pointing towards a red-shirt year for him while he tries to figure out the offense and speed of the game. Andre Debose is still nursing the hamstring injury, which has him behind where coaches want him right now.
Just in case the Gators need a change of pace, Chris Low reports: Haden looking to be Tebow’s backup. Joe played QB in High School and would and natural replacement for Percy Harvin in the “wildcat” packages.
Omar Hunter the “Tim Tebow of the 2008″ class has shown some signs that he is going to make an impact this season. For the first time in a long time the Gators can say there is some depth at Defensive Tackle with Lawrence Marsh and Terron Sanders returning, along with Jaye Howard, Omar Hunter, and Freshman Gary Brown to battle for the back up spots.
A Sea of Blue asked What do Urban Meyer and John Calipari Have in Common? Does the Spread Option and the Dribble Drive Motion offense give them an advantage in recruiting?
