    It ain't just about Tebow, folks.

    No team in the nation gains more yards per snap than Florida, at 7.7 yards every time the ball is snapped.

    Also, no team's defense is giving up fewer yards per opponent's snap, at 3.42 per snap.

    But he's still inexperienced. That cannot be discounted. Even so, I think it's stupid to assume victory in this game, with or without Tebow.

    Unless Tebow is 100% and willing to go mobile, head on as usual they have more of a chance to lose with Tebow playin half-way and not using his strengths of running. I think the Gators have a better chance with Brantley. He is a player who will definitely be playing on Sundays. He can throw a rope down the field. The boy cant run at all but has a fantastic arm and smarts to boot. We just need receivers. The Gator's are hopefully adjusting though as Brantley will be able to do a lot more if they cater to his strengths. As a Gator I dont by into the line on the game. I would think LSU is the favorite by 9 with a home game and Tebow out. It'll be won by 7 or less. But I hope by the Gators. Go Gators!!

    Brantley is 40-58 career with 470+yards. i don't care who you are, or what back up you are, or who you play for 40-58 passing is pretty damned unbelievable.

    The title of this thread seemed promising with the somewhat clever title. Boy it fell of the cliff after I read the post. Is there really anyone who thinks that LSU beating UF without Tebow will be easy? Of course, I am not even really sure that is what the OP is trying to say anyway. Reminds me of TigerDroppings more than TigerForums.

    this is the major difference in the game from what i see.

    they've returned every starter on defense.

    against our somewhat stagnant offense could spell doom.

    this cant be correct can it? i know he was all world in high school. sounds like sam bradford stats 2 years ago. doesnt worry me, just odd.

    I would much rather play a known commodity, even if it is St. Timmy.
