ENEMY LINES
An opposing coach's view

The Gators have a ton of talent, especially on offense

" Rex Grossman throws the best deep ball in the country. He'll pull the trigger to the right guy every time.... The two games they lost, tailback Earnest Graham didn't play. He was injured most of the season with a sprained ankle.... Wideout Taylor Jacobs is physical when the ball is in the air.... They've got at least nine NFL players on that offense.... Todd Johnson is a star at free safety. When he is in position to make plays, he makes them. He's a sure tackier good hands."
