It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, . . . . No, It’s the Gators Backfield

For those that do not know me, I am an avid University of Florida Gators fan. I am a full believer that “If you ain't a Gator, then you must be GATOR BAIT.” With that said, I feel pretty confident in stating that this year’s Gator backfield has the potential of being one the best this year in the SEC. Percy Harvin is one of the fastest players in college football (40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds). During his first two years at Florida, he has amassed almost 1,200 yards rushing and over 1,200 yard receiving, with an average of 9.6 years per catch and 13.8 yards per catch. However, having just one fast player is not enough. So this year, the Gator Nation has a lot to celebrate with the addition of Chris Rainey. Rainey ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds. Many recruiting sites have Rainey within the top 5 running backs in the country, so he will definitely fill a need. Can you imagine what our running game will look like if Heisman Winner Tim Tebow, Harvin, and Rainey are all involved. I truly feel bad for the SEC defensive coordinators. GO GATORS!!!
