Spring Game Recap

The annual Orange and Blue Spring Game was last Saturday. The game represents the end of spring football practice. Generally your stars don’t play that much. It’s a game for freshman and walk-ons to prove they can make the team. I was not able to attend the O&B game this year, but ESPN.com did a pretty good recap of what happened (in regards to Tim Tebow).

The receiver position was one of Florida’s main concerns this spring. The Gators lost their top two wideouts, Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy, after beating Oklahoma in the national title game in January and weren’t sure who would replace them. But Hammond, Deonte Thompson (four catches for 44 yards), Carl Moore (two for 49) and T.J. Lawrence (five for 59) looked to be capable pass-catchers.

“We do have guys,” Tebow said. “There’s a lot of different guys. There’s no one guy. It’s a lot of guys competing for the ball, competing for catches. I think that’s great because it’s going to make these guys work really hard this summer.”

Tebow only played the first half and was 7-of-9 passing for 81 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. He also ran three times for 21 yards.

I will be interesting to see who steps up to become Tebow’s No. 1 target down the field. With the loss of Harvin and Murphy, guys like Deonte Thompson and Carl Moore can step up.
