Florida will continue multiple running back rotation

Urban Meyer has gone from searching for a consistent running back to have an abundance of runners in the Gators' backfield.

And for now, that's just fine with him.

Meyer said Wednesday the Gators aren't necessarily trying to find one solid starter, but will continue letting multiple players run the ball because each brings something different to the Florida offense.

"The positive is there's some good players,'' Meyer said. "The negative is they are kind of role guys. Kestahn Moore is kind of a salty, experienced guy that understands pass protection, makes very few errors and he's a very talented player. Then you've got the two real fast little guys (Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps) who actually take away from your pass protection and they are kind of a liability right now, so we have to be careful with those guys. And Emmanuel Moody is kind of an all-purpose guy that's still getting a complete grasp on the offense, but a very talented runner. And then you've got the Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow back there. So every week is different. How you practice is how you earn your carries in the game, and then how you perform in the game. So how do I see it shaping up? Right now, they'll all play and we'll just keep managing them and the hardest workers and best players will get the ball.''

The Gators better have a enough to replenish their ranks from the beating Canes are going to give them.

Jim-You are a moron if you think the Canes are going to beat down the Gators. You would sound a little more intelligent if you said something like "I think the Canes can pull the upset this week if they can somehow keep the ball away from UF by controlling the clock and limiting their time of possession." Instead, you sound like a moron who doesn't know anything about football.
