The Tale of a True Gator

Saturday was an emotional day for many college fans, but no place in America was more emotional than Ben-Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainsville, Florida.

This day was Senior Day for the Florida Gators and would be the last time the Gators would host any team on Florida turf with Tim Tebow leading the way.

The most reconizable name in college sports has created a legendary legacy at the University of Florida and in the NCAA. Tebow has broken many records and has led his team to two national titles—one as a starter. He won the Heisman trophy as well.

There is not much this great player has done.

There is no doubt that Tebow is a legend and that he will be missed. Saturday in Gainsville was Tebow's last ever game at the Swamp.

In my opinion, there will never be a better player put on a Florida jersey. Although that was his last game in the Swamp, it wasn't his last game to wear the Gator blue and orange.

Next Saturday will be the game of the year for both the Gators and the Crimson Tide. They will be playing for not only the SEC Championship, but national title contention as well. Whomever wins this game will be in the national title game in January. This game will shed blood, sweat, and tears.

Who has enough to win?

There is no question that Florida will need its quarterback to lead the way once again. Tebow will be the main ingredient to Florida's offense.

If the Gators can get Tebow started, Alabama may have trouble stopping him. Tebow has a lot of fire power and a lot of help on offense.

Tebow offensive line does an exceptional job of protecting him each game. He also has great receivers outside, starting with Riely Cooper. There are two outstanding backs lining up in the back field being Jeff Demps and Chris Rainy.

There's not a doubt in my mind that he is a strong contender for the Heisman trophy. This would be his second if he can pull off a fantastic game against a tough Tide defense.

He was 17-21 for 221 yards and five total touchdowns against rival Florida State. If he can have a resemblance of that next week, he will most likely lead the Heisman race.

Tim Tebow is a legend if I've ever seen one, and he will be remembered forever. Florida has never seen a player of his caliber, and probably never will.
