7. Runback against Tennessee
Florida sends a message: Beware of our special teams. Brandon James returns the opening kickoff 52 yards to set up the Gators’ first score, but a few minutes later he returns a punt 78 yards for a touchdown. This performance causes Knoxville News-Sentinel columnist John Adams to write,” What does Florida's Brandon James have to do for UT to stop kicking him the ball? Score twice on one play?”
8. The First Touchdown Pass Against LSU
On Florida’s opening possession, with the Gators facing a 3rd-and-12 from their own 30, Tebow’s pass, intended for Percy Harvin, is underthrown. LSU safety Danny McCray tips the ball into the hands of the waiting Harvin who then sprints into the endzone with the 70-yard completion. A bad pass becomes the game’s first touchdown, and, from that point forward, the Gators were off to the races.
9. Consecutive Blocked Punts Against Kentucky
In the seventh game of the year, Florida continues to terrify opponents with their special teams play. In a span of less than five minutes in the first quarter, the Gators block back-to-back Kentucky punts resulting in touchdown drives of four yards and one yard.
10. Tebow’s Touchdown in Tallahassee
In the pouring rain, with 7:32 remaining in the first half and Florida leading 14-6, Percy Harvin is injured on a five-yard carry. Florida State fans cheer. Tebow is furious, and asks for the ball. Two plays later, he completes a four-yard touchdown run, carrying a pile of about ten players into the endzone with him. Message to opponents: Don’t make Tebow angry.
