Florida Coach Urban Meyer says it's simple, that Harvin is both a natural running back and wide receiver, but some might not agree.

After watching Harvin suck the life out of his Gamecocks, Coach Steve Spurrier said Harvin would be a 200-yard-a-game running back if he was the primary ball-carrier on another team.

Harvin is now the team's leading rusher and receiver this season with 476 yards on the ground and 519 yards from the air.

The Gators' array of explosiveness, including Tebow's 119 rushing carries for 393 yards this year, has lessened Harvin's workload. He likely won't match last year's 1,622 total yards.

That's a good thing, according to CBS Sports college football analyst Gary Danielson.

"Talking to defensive coordinators, the first option is trying to stop running backs (Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey)," Danielson said. "And that's the point. People are forced to stop them, that's why Tebow has caught his second breath and why Harvin has emerged. You can't make Tebow and Harvin the first option any longer. If you peak for Tebow and Harvin, they are gassing you."

Meyer said the Gators plan to use Harvin more as a receiver in the coming weeks, but that could change just as quickly.

Whatever wins games.

"For what we do with him, he's in the right offense and at the right place because there are some places that don't really have the knowledge or experience or personnel to use him the way we do," Meyer said.

NFL folks have told Meyer that the dynamic junior will likely be used in a similar hybrid, all-over-the-field mold at the next level because of his versatility. At 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, Harvin might not have the body to handle "25- to 30-(carry), inside-the-tackle type games," Meyer said.

The way Tebow sees it, the important thing is Harvin's in an orange-and-blue uniform. At least for a couple more games.

"He's probably the most explosive player in college football," Tebow said. "He's probably one of the most explosive players in football period."
