Tim Tebow Dominates As Gators Rout LSU

Game Recap

October 11, 2008


Before the LSU-Florida game last week, I wrote an article posing some important questions for the game. Let's review shall we?

1.) Can LSU stop Tebow? A resounding no.

2.) Will Florida's offensive line protect Tebow? A definite yes.

 

As the last two national champions began the game in Gainsville, I sat and watched with all my intensity, ready to burst loose. The first two plays of the game showed Florida stopped. It was third and twelve, and I hoped we could get it across the line someway. As Tebow pulled up, I hopped out of my seat and thought, "oh crud it's a pick..."

Then, all of a sudden I look up and Percy Harvin is in the end zone. That set a pattern for the rest of the game.

 

Tebow threw for 210 yards, two touchdowns, and had no interceptions to boot. Tebow did every possible thing he could have to win this game—you can tell by the score that he did every possible thing.

The rest of the Florida Gator offense didn't do so badly either. Percy Harvin grabbed six catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns.

Florida's tailback problem everybody has talked about, well, it isn't a problem it seems. Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey have combined over the last two weeks for a total of 401 yards rushing. Both freshmen speedsters have the ability to bust a game open. And, they did against LSU.

The Gator defense on the other hand played well, but there is certainly room for improvement. Andrew Hatch ran for one LSU touchdown. Jarrett Lee threw for 209 yards, two touchdowns, and two picks. Florida defended the run well though, holding Scott to only 35 yards on the ground.

 

Overall this Florida team looked great. Tim Tebow and the offense looked unstoppable.

    Good article Micah,

    When the when the "right" gators team shows up(like the team last night)

    I think they are THE best team in the country, and who could argue with all these other teams dropping and how decisive the win was?

    The best thing about the win? Not having to watch Tebow cry at the press conference.

    Yeah, I'm a Gator fan. Somebody needs to sit this guy down and tell him you can't cry after you lose a football game. It's embarrassing to watch. I'm seriously relieved when they win because I'm afraid the guy is going to cry in front of everyone again.

    I don't know where that performance from the Gators came from. Out of nowhere, not only do they dominate in the trenches, but they dominate the trenches against is maybe the best trench football team in the country.

    If their O-line keeps opening up holes like that and the D stuffs the run, there is no stopping them!!!!

      Have you ever played football? When you lose to a team you shouldn't lose to and endanger your chances of something you feel you can get it gets you emotional. He is one of the most competitive guys around. B/c he wants to win and is mad when he doesn't you trash him? What a fan.

    Finally, the Gators brought their A game. Now they need to focus that A game on every opponent the rest of the way. Fortunately, only one more SEC road game (Vandy), two in the Swamp and the slugfest in Jax.

    The Gators really looked good against LSU. They were hitting on all cylinders. Congrats on the victory. We will see you in Jax. Neither Georgia nor Florida can afford another loss. They both need t run the table to get in the big dance. We shall see if either one can do it. POTD

    micah, good one. you should be mighty proud of your gators.

    they exposed the lsu offense and look impressive against that "incredible" defense.

    that bulletin board material must have worked...
