Florida struggling with Arkansas showed me two things:1. Florida does not have the explosive receivers on the outside that they had last year. Tebow does not have a Percy Harvin or Chris baker to get the ball to that puts pressure on teams defensive secondary. They have a pet play where they throw the ball down the seam to the tight end Hernandez that can be defended if you have a big safety.
2. The Gators running game is Tebow. Even though Moody, Demps and James have big-time yards per carry stats, the tough yards and main part of the running game is TT (Tim Tebow). What the University of Tennessee did was sent their stud safety and assigned him to Tebow. The way to beat the Gators is to make Tebow run and shut him down. Its tough to down because he is very strong, but if you have the athletes on defense a team can pull off the upset.
Alabama has a great defense and a terrific and Heisman caliber running back in Mark Ingram, however they have and will continue to struggle with their passing game. Although they are undefeated, Saban and his guys have been relying completely on Ingram to get them through their last few games. Mcelroy has not been able to get the ball down the field to receivers or tight-ends. You are going to see teams load up the box and dare them to throw the ball.
Texas can be summed up simply with these words, YOUR STARTING QB CANNOT LEAD YOUR TEAM IN RUSHING!!! There is no way this team can continue to win if McCoy is the best back they have. They are getting absolutely nothing from the running game. The worse part about the Spread Offense is that teams aren't running the ball effectively in it. Texas is just not getting any yards from their backs. The other part is that McCoy and the Texas offense has started slowly in all their games. They just look out of synch. Texas is going to go undefeated this season. The game within the BCS is when you lose a game, not who you lose to.
