However, the Gators don't run the ball that well in real life, so that's a positive. Oklahoma, on the other hand, can string together a fairly good rushing game on the legs of Murray. Like in '09, you have to run with patience and sometimes implement the slide protection option.

Florida was actually a better rushing team than Oklahoma. Actually, out of 120 FBS teams, UF ranked #10 in rushing.

Blah.

Am I the only one that thinks the throwing is completely ********? You can be running backwards in the pocket and throw an absolute strike across the field.

The quarterbacks don't even step into their throws. You hit the button to pass it and dude throws a rope anywhere in the area code. It looks so ridiculous that it's actually funny. Funny, did you hear that. It's turned into a funny arcade game.

This demo is unplayable. Are you kidding me with the passing?

Anyone know if the retail version with the Oregon Ducks new Uni's?

Thank you.

I love how people who don't watch Florida just assume they "really don't run the ball too well". They average more yards on the ground than many of your traditional run based offense programs. They just get there by committee and in a variety of ways. Hell, they average nearly 6 yards per carry...as a team while running the ball over 35 times per game.

Oh, and jmult42, Oregon's new uniforms will not be in NCAA10 because they just came out. Don't worry, you will still have about a half-a-hundred possible combos with them this year. LOL

And the only teams higher than UF in rushing that play in a BCS conference are Oregon (2), Georiga Tech (4) and Okla St (8).

However, I really think Florida's loss of Harvin is going to factor big in '09. People get focused on his speed, and for good reason, but he was a very strong runner between the tackles and always got a few extra yards when he went down. UF will miss that big-time. Demps has world class speed, and is a tough dude, but does not have Harvin's strength.

I don't see UF in the top 20 in rushing this year, for a variety of reasons, but the loss of Harvin is the biggest.

I've watched plenty of Florida. They lack a traditional rushing attack. Tebow led the team in rushing with 673 yards. Their second leading rusher was Harvin with 660 yards. I mean, really? It's a spread offense that uses its quarterback as a power back. Alabama was ranked 30 in rush offense, but in the context of this year's game, they should have one of the best running attack's available.

For the purposes of realism, Oklahoma returns two 1,000 rushers. The Sooners should have the better rush offense, which they do. That's a positive in my book. Vice versa, Florida was ranked 61 in passing last season. If the Gators passing in the game was on par with the teams ranked in that neighborhood, I'd be disappointed.

We'll notice a difference without Harvin (which team wouldn't), but it won't be anything to worry about.

Rainey, and Moody should be handling the full-time RB duties. James, Demps, and Debose (who I can't wait to see in action) will be there for split-duties.
