some key Meyer remarks:

I think a fast start is going to be a critical part...

But we think this is the most physical offensive line we've faced in the last few years. It says a lot, because last year's LSU team was very physical as well.

But we're going to have to find a way to get an extra defender in a box like most people do defending the run. We're going to have to have a little movement up front, so they can't just tee off on you with their size. That's my worst fear. That's a big part of it.

In the past, we just feel like they're not really secretive about what they're trying to do. They're going to try to pound you and they have the personnel to do it. It's not so much the running game, it's the personnel behind that run game. No, we've not faced anything like that this year.

regarding Tebow's recruitment ...

Q. Also, when you were recruiting Tim Tebow, he really, seriously considered Alabama. I know Coach Shula was there the day before his announcement. How nervous were you through that whole thing with Tim making his decision?

MEYER: Well, the one thing that Coach Shula did, he had a great relationship in terms of a relationship type person. He had his mindset for a while there to go to Alabama. I thought our guys did a good job in trying to pull that one back, because he's a Florida guy. But I was very concerned.

Q. Was there a time when you thought he was going to Alabama?

MEYER: Sure, most of the process.

Q. I was wondering working on film what you think of the offensive line, and how physical are they? Have you faced a team that's physical like they are up front?

MEYER: Well, we've faced Alabama, we've faced LSU, Georgia had a young offensive line, so they're very physical, but we've had LSU very physical. But we think this is the most physical offensive line we've faced in the last few years. It says a lot, because last year's LSU team was very physical as well. So very physical offensive line, and how we match up, especially being banged up on the defensive line right now.

What the?!?! How on earth did I miss the Florida game this year? :evil:

If Urban thinks our OL from this season even remotely resembles the one from two years ago, and is preping his team as such, I feel much more confident about this Saturday!!!
