Tebow accounted for 55%, or 3,419 of Florida's 6,231 yards.

Smith made up 59% of the offense, with 3,583 of 5,997 yards for Utah in '04.

And here's what I think it interesting and maybe a little scary about Urb's offense in Florida right now: He's running a spread, and no matter what sort of spread you run, the basic idea, ultimately, is to get the defense to play in space. Really in Utah, that's what he had going so well for his offense. Isolate defenders and make them make a play. Right now, with Tebow, he says, "Space!? F Space!? We're going to run right into you and our manbeast QB will win."

But what happens when they actually run the Meyer spread as it was optimized to run before the discovery of Tim? Many argued that the SEC defenses could play better in space that what they encountered in Utah because the athletes are so superior, but frankly I don't buy it. I think that's been a long-standing myth about athlete quality on the defensive side for the SEC, largely hiding offensive system deficiency. So if I'm right, what happens when Florida gets the "next Alex Smith" and couples it with whoever "the next Percy Harvin" turns out to be? Perhaps fewer Heismans and more offensive terror.

could be USC post-Leinart/Bush. Florida will still have more talent than every regular season opponent on their schedule and Meyer should be able to produce a potent offense. What I think they will miss are the players that can carry the team to victory on days where the team comes out flat, has an extraordinary number of turnovers/injuries, etc. He'll be more likely to suffer losses like USC's losses to Oregon State and Stanford.

but I don't think Florida will suffer much of a dropoff when he leaves, provided Meyer stays. In the development of his program, I think Meyer has progressed beyond the bumps in the road that led to a four-loss season in 2007, and he's now got the thing humming like USC, except I think he's an even better coach than Carroll. Tebow will probably be succeeded by John Brantley, who was an elite recruit. Brantley is more like Alex Smith than like Tebow, but I think Meyer has proven he can adapt his offense to his QB's strengths.
