having been a huge UF fan for close to 20 years I can tell you there is more offensive talent on this team than any that we've had. The only thing that keeps me from saying that this offense isn't better than all of them is that there's no rock solid RB like the 95-96 teams had with Fred Taylor.
In this offense though, a 30 carry a game guy isn't really needed. And there is talent there, it's just that no one guy has stepepd up and taken the job.
Harvin was healthy for maybe 3 complete games last year. There was a stretch from the UT game almost through the rest of the regular season where he'd tweak his ankle at least once every game. If he stays healthy all year, he's going to be no SportsCenter a lot.
C Ingram is the best receiver you've never heard of. Had a great SECCG and NCG last year after catching two passes all year. Dallas Baker said he was the best receiver on the team at the NCG celebration at the Swamp
The O-line returns virtually intact and is very deep. There's more scholarship OL guys on the roster than I've ever remembered here.
Tebow can pass - don't think he can't just because of what his role was last year. You don't throw for almost 10000 yards and 100 TDs in HS without being able to throw it around a bit.
The question marks are all on D - the LBs and DBs I think we're OK at. Spikes at MLB is special and the other guys are talented, just a little young. We may start a true freshman and a former RB at CB in Joe Haden (enrolled early) and Markus Manson, so that will be interesting. The safeties are deeper and more veteran overall.
The D-line...Well there's Harvey who's a stud and a coupld older guys who need to step up along with some young guys who have some talent. It would be nice if a few of the freshmen could come in right away and help - Dunlap and T. Davis especially.
The point of this post was really to refute the "Tebow sucks" and the UF offense will be down. The offense will be better...I think much better.
