Florida had a fullback that would give the same production as Tebow? Pray tell what was his name?
You know, it's funny, maybe you don't realize that the 2006 football team had TALENT. You keep talking like Tebow was the be all and end all of the team. He was not.
Funny thing, if Florida didn't have Tebow to shove the ball in at the goal line, we probably would have run a different play. But maybe not.
Do you know who Trey Burton is? He's a tight end who was recruited to UF as a dual threat QB and moved to TE. But, when Brantley was hurt, and later when he struggled, guess who moved back to the QB position? That's right, it was Trey Burton. So I suppose it's reasonable to assume that Meyer would make such a move, since he actually did. You with me so far?
So let me introduce you to this guy:
This is Cornelius Ingram. He was recruited to UF as a dual threat QB and moved to Tight End. He also played on the UF basketball team, so you know he had agility and jumping ability. Maybe, without Tebow, this guy plays that role. But you know what? IT DOESN'T MATTER.
My point is you are trying to narrowly focus your argument, but you are swimming in false premises. You think there was only one way for that offense to score on the goal line, or get a third and short? Well, I can tell you, from watching Mullen these past couple of years, without a hard nosed short yardage guy, he has a lot of other tricks up his sleeve. No Tebow? We run something else. The 2006 team was predicated on tough defense. Not on Tebow.
Now, everybody knows that Tebow was all that 2007-2009. But 2006? Nah bro, your argument is flawed and invalid.
