I guess the best way to say what I was attempting is we have more underclassmen playing. And, more inexperienced players playing, Brantley, Elam for example. We have mostly the same coaching staff. Mullins is gone, I know, but Meyer has a headset when the offense and defense have the ball. If we're looking for reasons, more underclassmen/inexperienced are in more crucial roles is a good reason. If we're looking for scapegoats... Plenty, coaches, players, refs, booing fans, somebody hung the Work em silly banner crooked, etc.

Signees per Scout.com: 2010 2009 2008 Total Oklahoma 29 23 21 73 Alabama 29 27 32 88 Auburn 32 27 28 87 Nebraska 22 21 28 71 Florida 28 16 22 66 I'm not one to figure out by hand what team redshirted more players than the other team, but it doesn't seem possible that we could have that many more young players than these other teams (if any at all). It would be pretty astounding if we were younger than Alabama, with 88 signees over the last three years to our 66. I do see the merit in Steve's point that a lot of our backups, while they may have had plenty of time on campus, have not seen the field that much. Cee's point is well taken, and one could take it a bit further and argue that the backups to key players such as Tebow and Spikes should have participated in more plays last year, but did not. Remember the one year we sat Weurffel for an entire game just to give his backup additional experience? -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
