Tim Tebow only play 3 quarters in the Gators 42-14 win over the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday. There were no signs of Tim slowing down because of an “ankle injury” he suffered last week after the UGA game. Tebow was 12-17 for 171 yards passing and 3 touchdowns, plus he had 11 rushes for 88 yards and 2 touchdowns. This is his second 5-touchdown game in a row.
He tossed TD passes to Louis Murphy, Riley Cooper and David Nelson. He tried to get Percy Harvin the ball a few time sin the endzone, but they just couldn’t connect. I am so impressed with the way Tim Tebow has been playing over the last month. He’s playing at such a high level that he’s gone from not even in the discussion to a top Heisman Trophy candidate.
Their win on Saturday also clinched the SEC East for the Gators. “Making it to Atlanta for the SEC championship was one of our goals at the beginning of the season, but our goal is to take care of business every Saturday,” Tebow said. Obviously Tebow doesn’t want to start thinking ahead. If they slip up at all, they can kiss the National Championship goodbye.
I also wanted to give you a quote from Vanderbilt’s coach. “He doesn’t get flustered even though he’s getting pressured, people around his ankles, and we just couldn’t tackle him,” Johnson said of Tebow. “He comes out of it and makes big plays, looks like he’s going to be sacked and they throw a touchdown. I think he’s a really outstanding player.”
This is an exciting time to be a Tim Tebow fan. Let’s keep the ride going!

I would really like to know what the SEC’s policy is or what the protocol is for hiring or securing replay booth personnel, since the team at Vandy was horrible. I can see them blowing one play, like they did with Harvin….replay after replay clearly showed Harvin crossing the plane of the goal line, in full possession AND, either way, he was DOWN. How did/could that have been ruled a fumble? Serious mistake, buffoons. So, their next blunder, gives Vandy a score, when the replays clearly illustrated that he did NOT have possession as he was falling out of bounds, feet still in, however not in full possession. How was Harvin’s NOT a TD and this one was? The league seriously needs to examine qualification and I do hope they review each challenge for quality control, those cretins clearly blew these two.
