Woooooooohoooooo....eh?

The argument that when Tebow runs it isn't by design is dubious at best. I personally think Tebow audibles a play change for himself at the line quite a bit given the situation. Its how the spread option works.

Meyers spread option is built around a QB that can run. It is the main philosophy of the spread option. Plus, a good deal of those rushing TDs are in the red zone. You cant tell me one of those RBs at Fla cant dive into the end zone for the easy TD.

These are Alex Smiths 2004 numbers at Utah, Meyers last year there I believe.

passing 214-314 2952 yds. 32 TD 4 INTs

rushing 135 att. 631 yds. 10 TDs


Tebow this season (so far)

passing 173-255 2532 yds. 23 TDs 5 INTs

rushing 170 att. 718 yds 19 TDs

Tebow is outpacing Alex Smith by a considerable margin in rushing statistics. Smith that year was the 2nd leading rusher in attempts that season.

Given the fact that I believe the Fla WR corp is better than what Smith had to work with in Utah there is no reason to believe that Fla is not running first and throwing when they need to. It seems to me Meyer is telling the whole country he is going to run with Tebow and everyone else can try to stop it.

Im not trying to knock on Tebow. I think Tebow is probably the best system QB in the history of college football. I just dont think his strength lies as a pure passser like Matt Ryan at BC, etc.

Also I dont believe Stafford is the next Joe Montana. There are still plenty of games to be played for these 2 QBs. Time will only tell.

The irony here is the term \"rushing\" yardage. Most of UF's rushing yardage (other than superman) are \"hand-off's to wide recievers and kick returners peeling back behind Tebow in their standard \"fire drill\" sequence or pitching the ball to them. Do they even have a TRUE running back?....oh yeah, K. Moore, they should give the ball more to OUR best player.

I totally agree. Tebow has twice as many rushing attempts as their next guy. I think Tebow has like 170 attempts and the next guys has 90. No true RB in the Fl offense.

That wouldn't be true though Gator. KnoMo running all the plays that is.

Granted KnoMo has more rushing yards. Brown and Lumpkin both have been hurt for 90% of the season. Even with that being said. I think the stats speak much louder than words. We are not a one player team. We seem to spread the ball. At least that's what the numbers say.

Well crap. That didn't come out right. Hopefully you guys can read it.

I agree the Dawgs are more balanced. Tebow is much less effective as a pure passer. Take the game in Jax for example. When forced to stay in the pocket Tebow is slow at making the coverage reads and he got sacked 6 times. I love the Dawgs but I don't believe our secondary coverage is unbeatable yet. I would really like to know how many of Tebows passing stats are from broken coverages after he has moved out of the pocket.
