Like many fans who watched Florida’s loss on Saturday, former Gators quarterback Tim Tebow was left wondering: What is going on with that team?

Tebow, who is now an analyst for ESPN’s SEC Network, went on local Jacksonville radio station 1010 XL on Tuesday and according to tweets from the station, called out the leadership on the Gators’ offense. “They just didn’t play with the heart that I’m used to watching Florida Gators play with,” he reportedly said.

@TimTebow – "One of the biggest problems on the offense is leadership." (about the Gators)

@TimTebow – "I don't think that offense have an identity right now, and I don't think that they know what they want their identity to be."

@TimTebow – "Maybe they can rally around the "our backs are against the wall" mentality." (on the Gators)

The interview came three days after Missouri beat Florida 42-13 in Gainesville.
