From HC Urban Meyer's comments it seems, for now, that the disappointment of Emmanuel Moody has only been eclipsed by the maturation of Chris Rainey. While he didn't see much playing time last year (registering one 10 yard catch, a 22 yard punt return, and a 39 yard kick return) he has potential to excel in Coach Meyer's spread; at 5'9 and (listed around) 165 lbs, Rainey possesses Harvin-eqsue size, speed, and moves.
Whether or not Moody comes to grips with the offense (Hey-what's this shotgun bullshit?) looks to be of little consequence for the Gators. Sports Illustrated and ESPN touted USC's RB corp as being as talented and as deep as any in recent memory, but Florida's, while less heralded, looks to be better. Mon Williams, Bo Williams, Keshtan Moore, Chris Rainey, Brandon James...oh yeah, and Percy Fucking Harvin. Moody is just icing on the cake there, gentlemen.
Cornelius Ingram and Bristol native Aaron Hernandez have made strides enough to warrant implementing a double-tight package. And Cam Newton has improved much from last year, meaning that Meyer can use Newton to spell Tebow much like he used Tebow to spell Leak in 2007.
Synopsis of post: Gators=pwnzrs
Hurricane Sports- Freshman linebackers Sean Spence and Arthur Brown dominated the scrimmage, tallying two picks and eight tackles and a pick respectively. As a unit the defense notched three interceptions and six sacks, as well as limiting sophomore quarterback Robert Marve to 93 yards on 10-22 passing. Former Miami Northwestern standout QB Jacory Harris didn't fare much better, completing 53% of his passes for 64 yards and -17 yards rushing.
This means one of two things: either Miami's defense is back to its 1990's form and Arthur Brown and Sean Spence are the next John Vilma and DJ Williams or OC Pat Nix still sucks at coaching.
I'm with the latter, post later this week detailing why.
Mississippi State- I'll bet no spring game in history has ever ended 6-0. How very MSU.
Apparently sophomore QB Wesley Carroll has adapted well to their new "Possum" offense.
Sportsline.com- Joe Paterno may be the only person around State College who ISN'T worried about his contract.
"I don't even care if I get a contract. I'll be very frank with you," Paterno said his eyes blazing with the passionate fire of the steel mill in which he was born.
This off-season is shaping up to be one messy motherfucker for Penn State.
