Watching the weekend games, I realized that teams like Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss. State, (and even LSU) have much better athletes than we have in several critical positions.
Although Muschamp is not currently the best coach in the SEC, he is also not the worst. He is certainly having a better year than Spurrier and some others. The area in which I would most criticize him is RECRUITING!
Those other SEC teams have big, fast, athletic players on offense and defense. The gators - not so much.
I remember the 2008 Gators and the talent they had at running back and receiver - Murphy, Cooper, Harvin, Nelson, and Hernandez. All of those guys have found a home in the NFL. Looking at the receivers we have today, I do not see anyone on offense (except for Debose) who might have an NFL career. One possible exception could be Richardson who appears to have the same physical abilities as David Nelson - without the hands.
I think we do have NFL prospects on defense.
