How did the Gators fall off so fast?

No disrespect intended...
But the Gators were one of those teams you hated.......Because they were just so damn good.
Was it Tebow leaving? Urban's "health scare"? Lack of recruiting?

Tebow.
I mean Leak was good, too, but he was no Tebow.

Denim shortage in Gainesville has killed their motivation.

I find it funny how people try to take away credit from a team by saying it was all Tebow,Cam,etc. Great players make great teams, but they couldn't do it without good players around them.
Cam & Tebow would have been destroyed, if they played for AU & UF this year.

No disrespect intended...I'm sure.
Anyway, we haven't fallen that far. We only got trounced last year by the two teams that played in the national championship.
The rest, with even an average offense (which we did not have) we could have won (I know WB, not the UG game, yadda).
We haven't lost to UK or Vandy yet....

Sure, Tebow leaving had an impact, I don't disagree.
Problems were the attrition coming into 2011, with a new staff and guys who may not have fit into the scheme.
As far as 2010 went, Meyer was not even close to his old self.

Numbers. As of last year we were down a full class.

because they were never supposed to be good. somewhere along the line fate got fricked up by spurrier and ray goff. now nature is correcting the imbalance and florida is headed back to pre 1990 times. about damn time too, all these natural disasters this decade coupled with UF wins were beginning to freak me out

it wasn't just losing Tebow. They lost Harvin, Brandon Spikes, Hernandez, Pouncey, Joe Haden, solid guys like Major Wright, Louis Murphy, etc.

Tebow was their power run game and passing game. Once he left, they had neither because Meyer was so determined to recruit speed and stars over toughness and physicality.
