Superman???

Boy did that game send a future message to the NFL scouts. Tebow operating out of the pocket looked very confused at best versus MS looked very poised and threw some lasers. At the end of both their careers, I believe Mr Stafford will be drafted very high over tebow. The NFL wants a big QB that stands tall in the pocket that can make ALL the throws. Take away the run from tebow and he can't make a decision......very late many times while in the pocket.

That was the weakest Sprurrier impression I have ever seen! I was a little dissapointed. I also kept expecting to hear a conversation using nothing but tim tebow. Oh yea, I didn't even know there were two teams involved for a long time, I just had not heard about the poor old bulldogs.

I am sooooo tired of the media kissing Tebow's a$$. The whole game on CBS it was like it was Tebow against UGA. If UF messed up, it was because Tebow was hurt.....if UGA did something positive on defense, it was because Tebow was hurt. Lundquist and Danielson weren't wanting to give us any credit, and you could almost tell that they were about to cry themselves over UF's loss and Tebow's playing himself out of Heisman contention. BTW, I also enjoyed the Spurrier impersonation on that last fumble by Urban Cryer......he didn't send his headset as far as Spurrier would have, but it was still satisfying nonetheless.......

Tebow does not play defense so Tebow's injury is no excuse for the Gators getting killed.
That being said, your post is all wrong. Tebow was injured to the point where he should not have been playing at all. He is not in Heisman contention because he's not a Junior or Senior not because he had a bad game.
Remember that in a game that he should not of been in due to injury, he still completed 64% of his passes with 1 touchdown and no interceptions AND scored two more rushing. Sorry to disappoint you but Tebow earned high praise for his performance in this game.

Well, GatorinGA, I hate to say it, but your vaunted coach turned out to be an idiot. Remember earlier in the year when we were all saying that Meyer was going to damage Tebow beyond repair by running him all the time?

Lo and behold...

No argument from me, but he's Superman, right?
It worked last year because we had Leak in there to do most of the work. What Meyer should have done was allow Cam Newton to do some running around like Tebow did last year.

Thought you all -- especially the Gator fans on the forum -- would like to see what Mark Schlabach wrote in this week's \"On The Mark\" about \"Mr. Year Two\":

Off the Mark

Urban Meyer used his high-octane spread offense to guide Utah to an unbeaten record and BCS bowl game in 2004, then won a BCS National Championship in only his second season at Florida last year.

But nine games into Meyer's third season at Florida, the Gators have an inexcusable flaw: They can't even line up and hand the football to a tailback. It was painfully obvious in Saturday's loss to Georgia that Gators quarterback Tim Tebow is hurt. He rarely ran against the Bulldogs because of an injured right (nonthrowing) shoulder and was sacked six times.

Meyer made his own bed. Tebow ran 138 times in eight games and even the super sophomore can't absorb the hits he's taken along the way. The Gators haven't developed a tailback whom Meyer and offensive coordinator Dan Mullen trust, so Tebow and the team's speedy receivers are the only options in the running game.

Junior tailback Kestahn Moore is mistake-prone and worked his way back into Meyer's doghouse by fumbling twice against the Bulldogs. The situation is so bad the Gators were reduced to running a reverse on fourth-and-2 at the Bulldogs' 25 late in the game. The Bulldogs snuffed it out and Stafford threw a 53-yard touchdown to Mikey Henderson two plays later to put the game away.

\"I'd like to be able to hand the football to the tailback and we have to get that corrected,\" Meyer said. \"I don't know what the answer is.\"
