An opposing team's coach sizes up the Gators

"This could be the most explosive offense in the country. Either quarterback, Rex Grossman or Brock Berlin, is going to create problems, but they're not so drastically different that you change your defensive calls. They can both make the throws they need to make because Steve Spurrier's system takes advantage of what the defense is doing....

The receivers [ Jabar Gaffney and Reche Caldwell] make you work from sideline to sideline. Tight end Aaron Walker can stretch you up the middle....

[New defensive line coach] Ricky Hunley will toughen up end Alex Brown. Brown's a dog. He made big plays, but he doesn't show up when they need him. Great players play every down....

Their coaches are lazy when it comes to recruiting. They rely on the Florida name. You see them signing good players on offense because of the draw of Spurrier, but since they lost [defensive coordinator] Bob Stoops they haven't had the same success recruiting defensive players."
