Its a perfect opportunity to get Brantly, our running backs and WRs some much needed practice.
I can not believe that we have to run Tebow as much as we do.
I can not believe that we don't have a stable of WRs and RBs that are ready.
I am even a believer in Moody now - I thought I was the last hold out - but obviously the coaches are not a believer.
Madder than %#$$ about the situation.
On the plus side - we could have lost one or more games ...

It could have happened in the first quarter, but it didn't. It happened with under four minutes in the third quarter, and a 31 - 7 lead.
I saw no need for him to still be in the game at that point, particularly since he had been sick before the game. Same for Spikes, with his achilles problem.
Certainly, there is a risk of injury on every snap, so once the game is in hand, you weigh the benefit of having him in versus the potential cost. With him in and 18:57 left in the game, we could have beaten Kentucky by 38 or more. Without him, we beat them by less.
Is it worth it? I don't think so. Particularly, as Darlene pointed out, that was a perfect opportunity to get Brantley some quality snaps in an SEC road game.
Meyer supposedly studies statistics and is very analytical. So the question remains: is it worth the potential risk? I didn't think so before the injury, and still don't.
Go Gators!!!!
Get Well Tim!!!!

Now...to all the second-guessers who think he shouldn't have played in the second half......in Coach Meyer's, it's "silly, nonsense". This injury could have happened in the first quarter itself.
Lets keep praying for Tim!
