Could the Gators repeat?
No secrets here.
I am a Gators fan. In fact, I’m wearing my Gators championship jersey right now. I wore it all summer. So am I a little prejudiced? Um, yeah!
Because I am a good little Gators fan, I went to the spring Orange & Blue game in Gainesville. In fact, it was my first trip to a college football stadium, so I was just soaking it all in. The Swamp looks a lot different in person than it does on TV. It seemed like every seat was a good one. Even though the stadium wasn’t completely full, it was plenty exciting. But I digress.
The real treat of the day was seeing Tim Tebow do something but run. After seeing him in the Orange & Blue game, I can let you in on this one little secret that Gators fans have mostly been keeping to themselves.
The boy has an ARM! Not only can he run, he can throw. He appears to be a total-package kind of quarterback. Small wonder Gator fans are excited about him. Tebow shows signs of being everything you could want in a quarterback, on and off the field.
But does that mean he can lead the Gators to another national championship?
It’s possible. But I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s probable. The Gators lost a lot of strong players to the NFL draft, particularly on defense. And as the reigning national champions, there will be a lot of teams gunning for them, bringing their best game in hopes of defeating the reigning national champions.
I think the Gators have as good a shot at the national championship as anyone. But I wouldn’t say it’s a lock.
