Hump Day Bites

A few things from around Gator Nation:

• According to Mel "Greasy" Kiper Jr., the Gators have the best senior safety (Tony Joiner), the best junior tight end (C.I.), and the second best defensive end (Derrick Harvey). I have a feeling that if he rated sophomores and freshmen as well, the Gators would have quite a few more players on the list.
• Just in case you forgot, here's a recap of what happened last year against Auburn. I think things will be juuussttt a bit different this time around.
• Coach Meyer calls Bubba Caldwell "very questionable" for the game on Saturday, and Markihe Anderson and Bryan Thomas are game-time decisions as well. However, Maurkice Pouncey and Riley Cooper are good to go.
  
• The free safety position is up for grabs, and the coaching staff will let the players compete.
• This writer says that the Gators' opponents need to be be careful of the "Tebow thing." What he means is that Tim Tebow is better than most teams.
• Blah, blah, blah, the defense needs work, blah, blah, blah.
• I already mentioned that Tebow is #2 in the ESPN Heisman Watch, but according to this article Tebow is the leader.
• Cross your fingers: Percy Harvin sat out of practice with a hip pointer.
  
• The Gators were terrible with penalties last year, and rank #3 in the nation in penalty yardage per game this year.
  
• What everyone fails to realize is that the Gators' D has been stout against the run; they have only given up an average of 54.5 rushing yards a game.
• This article states the obvious: Tim Tebow is tough (written by Captain Obvious with help from Sherlock Holmes).
• Here are a few quotes from Urban Meyer following the Gators' "Bloody Tuesday" practice.
