That is correct. Stamper has been mentioned several times by the coaches so far in camp. John Jones will get some ST's play and possibly see the field a bit this fall in mop up (he's having a weight gain problem). They will likely not redshirt McCray now that Beal is out..... There is so much talent and depth on this team it's ridiculous!

Agreed, not sure I remembering seeing so much love for a 4-loss team in quite a few years, mystifying. Florida had the same record last year as Penn State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Auburn, Tennessee, Texas Tech, Wake Forest, and Oregon State amongst others, yet last year they were regarded as some sort of super-team, while most of these other teams were rarely talked about in the same breath as BCS or New years day bowls.
Oddly enough, of those teams that shared the same records, Penn State, Wisconsin, Texas Tech, all return more starters than the Gators, yet we find Florida in the top 5 and those teams battling to make the top 15. (and 2 of those 3 teams have something Florida lacks...a defense)

Actually, you are the idiot. Your comments about UF have been nothing short of retarded. What occurred the last time out when you made all those comments about UF??? That's right, I was celebrating in Scottsdale while you were.... You got whored and disappeared into thin air. Keep your comments coming, we'll win it again this year while your at the dog food bowl again. Fear the thumb loser.
Go start another thread about how great the Noles are gonna be this year. Face it, You'll always be the stepchild to UF.
:nohead:
See the article below. Please don't EVER listen to ANYTHING this guy EVER says AGAIN! What very small ounce of credibility this loser once had is completely gone. Take your thumb out of Mr Smith's Ass, it's about to be 5 straight!(Really 6, but who's counting.)

Defensive tackle Matt Patchan was so explosive in spring practice that position coach Dan McCarney said at the time the former five-star recruit from Seffner Armwood would definitely play this season.
<!--Start MPatchan200_0324_KK Image--><SCRIPT language=Javascript>document.write(insertImage('http://vmedia.rivals.com/uploads/882/623031.jpg', '623031.jpg', 0, 267, 200, 1, 'Patchan impressed McCarney with his play in Monday\'s practice.', 'Kim Klement', 1219764487000, 'MPatchan200_0324_KK', 882, 'Align=Left'));</SCRIPT><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=208 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width=202>
"Patchan practiced (Monday) for the first time and it looks like he hasn't missed a beat since spring ball," McCarney said. "He looked fast and he looked physical. I got him in a little bit of everything. I'll get him some more (Tuesday). If he stays healthy this week and continues to improve he'll definitely play out here Saturday. He won't start but he'll definitely play… He brings another speed to that defensive line."
Patchan will be a welcome addition to a defensive front that is still trying to figure out who will perform on game days. McCarney said moving players in and out will be the norm and that nine or 10 players across the line could see action. If Patchan stays healthy this week, he could be an important piece at defensive tackle.
Fellow freshman defensive tackle Omar Hunter, also a five-star recruit, has practiced five straight times after being limited with a sore back early in camp. Hunter, probably the most-hyped recruit in the 2008 class, will rotate with junior college transfer Troy Epps in the season opener against Hawaii.
Redshirt sophomore Lawrence Marsh has earned the starting spot at defensive tackle and if the Gators employ the 3-3-5 defense that McCarney and coach Urban Meyer have detailed, Marsh would be the starter on the line with defensive ends Carlos Dunlap and Jermaine Cunningham. Redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Terron Sanders is also expected to see action Saturday.
One player who has not yet earned a spot in the two-deep is redshirt freshman John Brown, a former four-star recruit from Lakeland.
"He's been practicing," McCarney said. "He cracked a bone in his hand a couple weeks ago but he's been practicing. He's not in the two-deep right now. He's been available all camp but he hasn't earned a spot in the two-deep. He's got a cast on and that obviously limits you when you can't use that hand but he's not in the two-deep right now. He wasn't in the spring and he's not now so he has some work to do to get in a situation where he's playing.
"I'm going to keep coaching the heck out of him and bringing him along but he's not in the two-deep and that tells you where he's at. He's not in a position to help us on game day yet. I'm not giving up, I'm not going to kill his spirit but I'm not going to put him on the field unless he can show me he can be productive and consistent and he hasn't done that yet."
Redshirt freshman Jaye Howard was moved to defensive tackle this off-season and he's trying to move into the two-deep. He's not there yet. Sophomore defensive ends Justin Trattou and Duke Lemmens are expected to see action against Hawaii. Trattou missed three days with a slight concussion and Lemmens has a sore groin but both will play.
"They're a joy to coach," McCarney said.
Meyer said at his Monday news conference that freshman defensive end William Green will play a lot. Green, listed at 6 feet 4 and 215 pounds, is a former four-star recruit from Hoover (Ala.) Spain Park. He's been one of the pleasant surprises in camp.
Sophomore defensive tackle Torrey Davis, a former five-star prospect from Seffner Armwood, was held out of preseason camp mainly because of academic issues but he rejoined the team Monday. McCarney said Davis conditioned in shorts and no pads. He won't be available this week.
"He's still on scholarship and we're going to try to work him back into the program here and back on the team," McCarney said. "He definitely won't be available this week."
