"Eight months ago, safeties coach Chuck Heater sat in his chair on a raised platform at UF's preseason Media Day and tried to explain why the 2008 season would be different, how a secondary that gave up 373 yards passing to Michigan in the 2008 Capital One Bowl could possibly be any better after entering fall two-a-days with three scholarship players at safety.
The trio consisted of one returning starter (Major Wright), one converted cornerback (Ahmad Black) and an incoming freshman who just arrived on campus (Will Hill).
"I don't listen to the radio shows. I don't read the newspapers," Heater said at Media Day regarding his critics. "I work for Urban Meyer."
Meyer should have little criticism for Heater this spring.
Rarely does a position go from being a weakness to earning praise on SportsCenter, but that is exactly what happened with the UF safeties.
And during a spring where it seems starters get injured each day, the safeties have remained completely intact."
