Meyer to meet with Brantley about future

After the season, Florida quarterback John Brantley plans to sit down with his family to discuss is football future. Coach Urban Meyer said he hasn't spoken to the junior about potentially staying or transferring from Florida.
Meyer said Friday the focus has been on the bowl game and expects to talk with Brantley after Saturday.

"One thing about Johnny is he's a professional," Meyer said. "Johnny is going to do the best he can to help Florida win a bowl game against Penn State."

Brantley has taken some harsh criticism this season, and Meyer acknowledges that, but it should be expected as the quarterback at a high-profile program like Florida.

"With playing quarterback, that's like a pitcher for the New York Yankees — you better be really good, every day and not have a bad day," he said. "Unfortunately, that's rare."
