Gators offense lethal in scoring zone

Florida wide receivers coach Billy Gonzales has a new title, courtesy of Urban Meyer.

Red-zone guru.

Florida receiver Percy Harvin gets a hug from offensive lineman Drew Miller after a touchdown catch against Western Kentucky on Sept. 1.



"It was pretty nice of him to say that (earlier this week), but at the same time, we all work together in the red zone, to be honest with you," Gonzales said.

Nonetheless, guru status has been bestowed upon Gonzales by the head coach.

The title definitely seems to fit. Gonzales is responsible for drawing up Florida's weekly offensive red-zone game plans, and the Gators have been almost flawless in the scoring zone (25-yard line and in) through four games this season.

In 26 trips to the red zone, the Gators have scored 24 times — and 21 of those scores have been touchdowns.

It's guru-type stuff for the man behind the plan.

"We actually made (Gonzales in charge of the red zone offense) two years ago," Meyer said. "We put one guy (in charge) instead of every week redesigning our passing game down there.

"(Offensive coordinator) Dan Mullen and I discussed it and said, ‘Look, Billy, come in every week and study it because everybody plays (defense) a little different and it's a unique part of the field and we better be real good at it.’ He's done a nice job with that part of it."
