Tim Tebow analyzes what's wrong with the Florida Gators in 2024

Tebow, what's going on with Florida?

Tim Tebow was at Florida during the peak of the program's dominance in the mid-2000s, but in 2024 it is very different.

There are questions about the current head coach Billy Napier and its future. Damn, people are arguing between QBs Graham Mertz And DJ Lagway while the team limps into SEC play with a 1-2 record.

But Tebow believes Florida faces a bigger problem, and that's in the trenches.

“I think for me, and probably not just me, it’s not about that they lost, but rather how they lost,” Tebow told On3. “Especially Week 2. (It's) about losing both lines of offense, losing the tenacity, losing the competitiveness, losing the fighting spirit, losing the resilience. I think it comes down to how you lose as well, and you definitely saw more of that this weekend. Everybody kind of wants to point to the big highlights. Well, it's easy, you know, a head coach or quarterback, because (people) probably give them way too much praise, but also sometimes way too much criticism or criticism and there are so many other things that go into it.

“And I don't think this is about the quarterbacks. The quarterback position wasn't the problem. It was most of the other positions around it, especially the offensive and defensive line. The SEC is still a line of scrimmage league. I know that's changing. It's not as much as it used to be, but it's still the case: If you want to win, you better learn how to be physical up front, on offense and defense.

Without proper blocking to create sustained offense or a solid pass rush, for example, Tebow believes it could be a long year for Florida at this rate.

“Right now, they're not stopping people at second, third and short base and not being able to control the line of scrimmage offensively on the first attempt to run the ball,” Tebow said. “So what do you have? You almost always have second, third and long base and your quarterbacks are way behind, and that's a problem. And I think those are the things that really come to life for me and are a little harder to watch.”

Tebow will certainly have an eye on what's next. Florida hits the road to face Mississippi State on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. ET.
