The Gators haven't needed to throw the ball much to win this season, and they probably aren't going to anytime soon.
Florida has four players who should get at least 15 carries per game, and no wide receiver talent that demands touches.
Only tight end Aaron Hernandez has proven himself to be a viable option in the passing game.
With the lack of receiving talent, the Gators will need to stick to the ground game if they are going to make it back to the national championship.
Even though they have a Heisman-winning quarterback, he hasn't been tearing up defenses for the last three years through the air.
Let's face it: Tim Tebow has always been more of a threat running than he has through the air.
And this season, he has far inferior talent to dish the ball out to. Instead, all of the talent is standing right next to him in the backfield.
Whether it is Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, Emmanuel Moody or Tebow, UF is better off letting them run the ball than trying to throw 30 times per game.
The Gators' rushing attack is ranked second in the nation with 284.6 yards per game, compared to their 78th-ranked passing game (201.8).
In the three conference games, the most passing yards the Gators had was 134 against LSU.
It's not just where the talent is located that figures into the offensive scheme.
"So much of the game plan is dependent on how your defense plays, your special teams play," UF coach Urban Meyer said after the win in Baton Rouge, La.
The Gators' defense has been the best in nation, leading the country in total defense, scoring defense and passing defense.
Although UF is leading the nation in multiple defensive categories, it is just starting to return to where it left off last season and is just going to keep getting better, as hard as that may be to believe.
There is no reason to take too many risks through the air with that good of a defense, that talented of a backfield and that poor of a receiving unit.
Saturday's game against LSU may have been boring to many with the lack of a high-scoring affair, but Gators fans better get used to it because it is the only way the Gators will be able to win this season - and maybe the next couple as well.
