Florida Gators 2009 Preview

It's hard to imagine a college team or player being better than the Florida Gators and Tim Tebow have been over the last three years, but the 2009 college football season may very well prove me wrong.

Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow and the Gators are going for three national championships in four years, something that has never been accomplished by a quarterback, as far as I know. Anything less than another crystal ball will be considered a let down in Gainesville. Tebow also has a legitimate shot at a second Heisman trophy, which only the great Archie Griffin has done.

Florida will lose offensive threat Percy Harvin, but he is basically the only player missing from last year's championship team and, as a WR, is the easiest skill position to replace.

Their running backs, mainly Demps and Moody, should be more experienced and ready for the big time and Tebow still has tight end Aaron Hernandez, who could have a huge season for the Gators. Brandon Spikes also returns with Tebow to anchor a ferocious defensive attack that should dominate teams again this season.

With teams like Florida International, Troy, and Charleston Southern on the schedule, their only real out of conference challenge will be home versus Florida State, which may or may not be a tough one. As long as they take care of business in conference, though, Florida should be there come December 5th at the Georgia Dome.

It's going to be fun to watch the Gators again this year. Even if you're not a fan of the team you've got to admit it's one hell of a talented bunch, led by the second coming of Jesus himself, Tim Tebow.

I predict that Florida will lose one game, not sure to which team, but probably within the SEC, and go on to win the SEC championship game as well as their third national title in four years. And Tim Tebow, whether or not he wins another Heisman, will go down as the greatest college quarterback, and possibly the greatest college player, ever to lace 'em up.
