Ok.......you're the resident SEC expert. Im listening......
First, let me start by saying this is post concussion Tebow UF.
Basically, UF is having the same problem that LSU was having earlier this season, just with a better offensive line. UF runs the same damn dive play for 80% of the offense. Tebow is a bruiser...once he gets past the front 4 of the defense, he lowers his head and usually takes out dominant LBs for 7-8 yards per carry. Add the threat of him handing it to Demps or Rainey and you have 1 play that can drive the best defense crazy. Now, you can tell Tebow is gun shy and cringes at the point of that hit and is only getting minimal yards per carry. Teams are literally putting 8 in the box and now can key on Demps and Rainey. There is no threat, or at least UF hasnt shown a threat, of Tebow passing the ball more than 10 times per game...and these are mediocre passes at best. 80% of that offense is gone.
Brantley is a pure passer. I'll dig up his numbers in a sec but they are pretty dayum good in limited playing time...obviously these are late game numbers but he gets the job done. I would say he is probably the best pure passer in the SEC with the only other QB coming close being Mallet. The kid has TONS of confidence as you can tell in interviews... and who wouldnt be confident after playing behind Tebow for a couple of years. The ONLY thing that is questionable is UFs receiving corp. They appear weak but havent had any passes thrown to them so who really knows.
IMO, with Brantley running the offense...they score 10-14 more points on both LSU and Miss St.
BUT...no way in hell Tebow sits one play while at UF unless they are leading by more that 50 pts. Holy Tebow is going to be the reason they dont win the NC this season.
