Meyer: Youth is biggest concern

GAINESVILLE - Urban Meyer said his biggest concern as the Gators head into next weekend's season opener is the inexperience of many of his players.

With a team full of seniors last year, Meyer said there was a much greater comfort level.

"Last year we were a little more mature team so we were a little more confident with what was going to happen.'' he said. "This year, I’m happy because there was zero resistance on the team, there’s a bunch of young guys trying hard. But I’m not quite sure what’s going to happen when we tear that ribbon off the Christmas present next week.There’s a lot of young guys. I think we’ll be explosive, I just, as a coach you always just worry about minimizing mistakes. And mistakes on defense lead to touchdowns and mistakes on offense lead to lost yardage plays. That’s my biggest concern.''
