Tim Tebow Zone

The Florida Gators will host the Florida Atlantic Owls in their annual beat down game the week prior to the FSU game. The Owls have been talking smack all week, saying they’re going to put the hurt on Tebow. Well I’ve got news for them. Tebow doesn’t get hurt for nobody!

First of all, I don’t even know why Boca Raton has a football team. I wonder if UF had to pay these chumps to come up here for a beatdown. I feel bad for all the linebackers that have to get a Tebone forearm to the face.

My guess is the Gators are going to win this game something like 59 - 10. It won’t even be close. Meyer said earlier this week that Tebow will get a lot of playing time. He recognizes that Timmy is the Heisman front-runner (now that Dixon is hurt) and wants to do everything he can to help Tebow win that award.

Tebow should throw for 275 yards and rush for another 60, giving him a total 5-6 touchdowns. I doubt he’ll get 7 touchdowns like he did last week, but 5-6 isn’t out of the question.

The Florida Gators’ SEC Championship hopes are still alive thanks to their win over South Carolina on Saturday. Tebow shined like the star that we make him out to be, and proved to all the media that he is still a top Heisman candidate.

“That’s an honor any time your named with that award,” Tebow said, grinning from ear-to-ear. “But I’m not going to worry about that.”

Tebow accounted for seven touchdowns, two passing and five rushing, and 424 total yards (304 passing and 120 rushing). During the game he passed Emmitt Smith’s record for rushing touchdowns by a Gator in a single season. And I think Tebow is only a handful of rushing touchdowns away from setting the NCAA record for rushing touchdowns in a single season.

Tebow 42nd touchdown of the year also broke another record on Saturday…total touchdowns in a single season in the SEC. He surpassed Danny Wuerffel’s SEC record 41 touchdowns set in 1996.

Timmy put on a game performance that could make your mouth drop. He made the South Carolina defensive line look like a bunch of walk-ons. He is a phenomenal player that the Gators are very thankful to have playing on their side of the ball.

This Saturday holds another big game for the Florida Gators as they travel to Columbia, South Carolina to take on the Old Ball Coach’s Gamecocks. A loss to South Carolina will knock the Gators out of the SEC East running. Tim Tebow can’t let this happen.

Tim has been practicing full strength this week. He will continue to wear the extra padding on his right shoulder pads, but the shoulder isn’t bother him anymore. Don’t be surprised if you see Timmy lower that right shoulder and crush a few linebackers. I’m predicting somewhere around 10-12 rushes for Tebow against the Gamecocks.

Spurrier will come out with something up his sleeve. He’ll have a new scheme ready to shut down the Gator offense. I’m just not sure he has the talent to do it. Tebow is very quick about getting the ball out, so if the bring a lot of blitz’s we’ll have a way a beating it.

Tebow’s favorite weapon Percy Harvin, has been out sick the past few days. The Gators really need him to be healthy. Tebow will find a way to get Harvin the ball as much as he can.

South Carolina will be a tough game for the Gators. I’m sure it will come down to a big play in the 4th quarter. Tebow will be amped for this one. You have to love the emotion he brings to the game. He has a way of getting all the players and fans just as pumped up as he is.

My prediction for Tebow is 280 yards passing 3 touchdowns and 50 yards rushing and 1 touchdown. And for the game it’s Florida Gators 30, South Carolina Gamecocks 24.

What do you think?

The Florida Gators, who were favored by 14 going into their Homecoming game, ending up smashing the Vandy Commodores 49-22. Tebow played a hell of a game and led the Gators with 5 total touchdowns. Even though Vandy didn’t prove to be much of a challenge, Tebow showed no mercy. He completed 22 of 27 passes for 281 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interceptions. He also added 35 rushes yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground.

If this doesn’t propel Tebow back into the Heisman talk, the I don’t know what will. His only competition is senior QB from Oregon, Dennis Dixon. Tebow dominates Dixon in all statistical categories, it’s just that Dixon is on a 1 loss team and is a senior.

On Saturday, Tebow showed no signs of being injured. The only time Cam Newton came in to spell Tebow was at the end when the Gators had it wrapped up. Tebow did throw an interception, though it wasn’t entirely his fault and had no negative outcome on the game.

Tonight is Gator Growl and the Florida Gator football team is getting pump up to play the upstart Vanderbilt Commodores. Vandy always plays the Gators tough. The Gators are favored by 14 or 16 points, but I really don’t see them winning by that much considering how banged up and poor the defense is playing.

Vandy has a tough defense and Tebow isn’t 100%. That doesn’t mean Tebow will play poorly, it just means he needs to be smarter with the ball. We’ve seen how a bum shoulder has affected Tebow. He simply can’t run the ball right now. It’s time for Tebow to unleash the ball and become a pocket passer. We all know Tebow can launch the ball, it’s time to open the playbook and let him do it.

If the Gators find themselves in a position where they need to run the ball, then bring in Cam Newton for a play or two to spell Tebow. Cam is very big and fast, there’s no reason why he can’t come in to make a few plays a game.

Tebow has been dropping in the Heisman running because of the losses, but he still has some of the best stats of any QB in the country. The right this ship, Tebow will need to put up some gawdy numbers. I’m thinking 300 yards passing and 4 touchdowns.

The Gators lost their 3rd game in the last 4 played yesterday. The Georgia Bulldogs came out with a lot of energy and passion. They wanted to win this game more then the Gators. Even Tebow himself couldn’t save us. Perhaps if they put him on the defensive line we would have had a chance? Georgia ran through the Gators like a wet paper bag. It was pathetic.

Tebow ended the game 14 of 22 for 236 passing yards and 1 touchdown. He also ran the ball 13 times for -15 yards (misleading because college football counts sack yardage against the QBs rushing stats) and 2 rushing touchdowns. Tebow took a pounding on several players and there are rumors flying around the message boards that he may be injured more then we think.

Tebow’s average passing performance probably knocked him out of the Heisman running. He may still have an outside shot if he completely lights it up the rest of the way.

Like Superman has any fears, right? Fans and media speculate that Tebow might be worried about how his shoulder will hold up. Will he be able to play a full game or take hits? Why don’t you let Superman himself tell you how it is.

“If they come after my shoulder, then I guess they will not be hitting me straight up and I will have a very good chance of breaking that tackle,” Tebow said. “I’m not too worried about it.”

That sounds like an invitation for Georgia defensive players to come and get him. Tebow would be more the happy to take on a defense that doesn’t hit him square. And then Tebow will stiff arm him and run him over on his way to a 15 yard gain.

“I don’t think you can worry about it or think, ‘I’m taking too many hits or I need to get down or something,’ ” Tebow said. “When you play like that, then you have a much greater chance of getting hurt or getting injured when you’re thinking about it and not going out there and playing the way you know how to play.

“I’m just trying to get first downs and put points on the board.”

Amen Tebow. Good Luck (like you need it) tomorrow against the Dawgs.

The Georgia Bulldogs will be keying in on stopping Tebow. They know that the only way to beat the Gators is to stop Tim Tebow. Too bad for them, stopping Tebow is about as easy as stopping a stopping an 18 wheeler going 100 mph.

Tebow has experience playing in big games, and he in fact, saw playing time last year against UGA. Tebow should have no problem handling the Dawgs this weekend.

A dinged up Tebow will have to run the ball, and pass the ball with efficiencies for the Gators to win. Meyer might hold Tebow back when it comes to rushing, so he doesn’t further injure himself. But if we know Tebow, then we know there’s no holding back in his game. He’ll likely drop a shoulder and crush someone.

I look for Tebow to end the game victorious. He should get 300 yards passing, 60 yards rushing and 4 total touchdowns.

To further discuss Tebow and the Gators game against UGA this weekend, head over to Gator Envy.

The Florida Gators are 9 point favorites against the Georgia Bulldogs this week in Jacksonville. Tebow is especially jacked up to play this game, as it’s always been one of his favorites. Growing up in Jacksonville, Tebow had the opportunity to go to several Florida vs. Georgia games as a kid. It’s a special game for him, which means we’ll likely get a special performance. Probably a few linebacker truckings…

Georgia has lost eight of its last nine games and 15 of its last 17 games played in Jax. Richt is pissed, and wants the games played in the teams own stadiums. I think that’s bogus. You don’t F with 100 year old traditions. GA is just wetting themselves at the mere site of Tebow, and I would be too if I were them.

I’ll have a full game preview tomorrow, so be sure to check back.

In a game that many were saying would feature the top two Heisman candidates, Tebow was victorious. While his passing stats may not have been as high as Woodson’s 400+, they were still awesome, especially when you compliment them with the rushing stats. Tebow was 18 of 26 for 256 yards and 4 touchdowns. He also had 20 rushes for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Tebow did bang up his elbow during the game, but luckily its his non-throwing elbow. He’ll be limited this week in practice, but should be OK for game time on Saturday.

During the game, a stat popped up that said Tebow accounts for like 76-80% of the Gators offense. If that doesn’t scream Heisman, then I don’t know what does. But the important thing is that the Gators got back on the winning track and are in the driver’s seat in the SEC East.

If the Gators win out and beat LSU in the SEC Championship game, they may even have a freakish chance of making the National Championship game again.
