Third, after losing their senior starting quarterback, Tim Tebow, and other notables. Brandon Spikes, Aaron Hernandez, the original Pouncey center, anyone? This team reminds people of a young team, and looks like a young team. Why? Because they are a young team. I count myself as a Florida fan, but any fan, regardless of... zawalter@gmail.com (Zachary Walter) Florida Gators 2010-09-24T09:11:28-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/14527 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/14527 With almost half of the NFL season gone, there are a number of teams that are already looking to the 2010 season. It’s no coincidence that most of those teams have issues at the quarterback position. The Raiders, Panthers, Browns, Redskins, Rams, and to an extent the Titans are most likely going to be looking to upgrade that position in the upcoming off-season. With the potential of an uncapped... dchardon26@aol.com (dchardon26) Florida Gators 2009-10-29T11:01:39-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/14384 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/14384 The 2009-2010 Florida Gator football season is upon us. Opening the page of any sports magazine or watching any college football prep show will present you with glowing reports of a Championship repeat for the Gators. These reports are filled with stories on Tim Tebow, Carlos Dunlap, or Brandon Spikes. These names are everywhere, but surely to be a repeat champion in the SEC-East division, then... sportsfanwriter@gmail.com (sportsfanwriter) Florida Gators 2009-09-11T08:20:24-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/14190 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/14190 It was officially announced earlier today that the University of Florida has made Urban Meyer the highest paid football coach in the Southeastern Conference. The university awarded him with a six-year $24 million contract which runs through the 2014 season with him earning $4 million per year. All Meyer did in four seasons was to win two BCS national championships, a pair of SEC titles along... pgf13@hotmail.com (Spawn) Florida Gators 2009-08-04T11:19:10-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/13139 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/13139 The Florida Gators are looking BCS Championship-worthy: Yes, the Georgia Bulldogs screwed up with turnovers, onside kicks and field goals throughout Saturday. Sure, they managed to accumulate a similar amount of offensive yards as their opponent. Still, Florida's 49-10 beatdown of Georgia says something. It indicates that these Gators have so much speed on both offense and defense that they can... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Florida Gators 2008-11-03T05:01:29-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/13073 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/13073 Here's the latest installment of "SEC: Fastball." The Florida-Georgia game this week could be bigger than you think: Every year in college football, everyone starts talking about how several teams could go undefeated; as a result, those teams dominate national championship game discussions. The next thing you know, a team with two losses like LSU last season ends up in the BCS title game.... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Florida Gators 2008-10-28T05:06:03-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/12938 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/12938 Another edition of "SEC Fastball." Florida has the speed to win it all: The Gators' 51-21 victory over the LSU Tigers this past Saturday tells the ‘what’ part of the story. The 'how' part is what was amazing, though. The bottom line during this contest is that Florida’s offense looked much faster than an LSU defense known for its speed. Quarterback Tim Tebow looked too fast for them at times.... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Florida Gators 2008-10-14T05:13:35-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/12847 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/florida/12847 It has long been held as traditional wisdom in the Southeastern Conference that to win, you have to run the ball effectively. Many coaches and pundits alike have insisted that a team needs to be able to rush for more than 200 yards per game against some of the best defensive units in the nation, a feat the Florida Gators managed to pull off in 2007, if it wants to win consistently....

After a scintillating 2007 season which saw the Heisman Trophy and a ton of offensive excitement return to Gainesville, most Gator fans want to know what happened to the video game-style 'O'...

There may have even been some muffled sobs. But as news out of Gainesville, Fla., began to spread around the globe, the audible hush heard on Aug. 30 was the sound of the Gator Nation holding its collective breath, sure the end of Florida's storied football program must be coming to an end. Superman -- also known around Gainesville as Tim Tebow -- had apparently been...

The Jacksonville Jaguars picked defensive end Derrick Harvey in the first round (No. 8 overall) and the Cincinnati Bengals took wide receiver Andre Caldwell in the third round (No. 97). After the close of the draft on Sunday, center Drew Miller...

If, however, you expected to see a lot of talented young men showing what they can do, it was a very good day. The Gators showed only the very basic versions...

If this is true, Cam Newton and redshirt freshman John Brantley aren’t competing for the backup job; they’re competing to co-quarterback the team alongside last year’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, Tim Tebow. “If there's any way to do that, we want to...

They metaphorically live and die with the outcome of the games, games played by teenaged kids and young men in their early 20’s. Games most of them wish they could play, games they fondly recall from their childhood years. College football is a kids’ game, played by kids. With all the media attention surrounding...

Carter has stated he doesn’t care who gets the yards, just that the position produces. Last year, Kestahn Moore led all Gator running backs in rushing....
