Florida Gators 2008 College Football Team Preview
Offensively, it all starts with quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and he is only entering his Junior year. Tebow will have a bevy of incredibly talented players to get the ball to, and as a result, I do not see him reaching last season’s amazing totals of 32 […]

The idea is to start out gradually, not trying to do everything in […]
Successfully Training Your Quarterback
All football authorities agree that of all the factors that make for success in games, the proper selection of plays is by far the most important.
