Earlier this week, Florida Gator defensive end – and super star talent – Carlos Dunlap was arrest on DUI charges. He apparently was celebrating something with alcohol and got behind the wheel at like 2:00am. You know Urban Meyer stresses to his players what is right and what is wrong, but Meyer can’t babysit his players 24/7. Dunlap, who is only 20 years old, made a mistake and now he is paying for it.

Coach Urban Meyer announced that Carlos Dunlap will be suspended for the SEC Championship Game on Saturday – the biggest game of the year. Last year, the Gators were without WR Percy Harvin for the SECCG, but that was due to an injury. It’s not that same as losing Dunlap because of an arrest. Dunlap is a critical component to the defense’s success this year. Without him, they won’t be as effective. Dunlap let his teammates and the entire Gator Nation down.

Florida’s defensive coordinator, Charlie Strong, will have his work cut out for him in trying to scheme up something to stop Alabama’s strong rushing attack. You can’t replace Dunlap with one guy. I expect the Gators to use a rotation of players to keep guys fresh. We will see a lot of Justin Trattou and possibly Brandon Spikes on the line. We’ll also need to use more blitz packages to keep the pressure on QB McElroy.

What do you think of the Carlos Dunlap situation? Are you in agreeance with the suspension?
