Gators confident in run game, even without Tebow

By The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA -- Florida's running game was a bruising, bashing attack the last three years. It was practical, predictable and one of the most potent in the country.

It was, for the most part, the Tim Tebow show.

Running backs often stood around and watched the beefy quarterback keep the ball, serving as the team's short-yardage specialist and its go-to guy. He ran more than 600 times the last three seasons, gaining nearly 2,500 yards and scoring 49 touchdowns.

Without Tebow, Florida's running game will be considerably different this fall. But with Jeff Demps, Emmanuel Moody, Mike Gillislee and Mack Brown in the backfield, it also remains the team's biggest strength.
