The Florida Gators overpowered the Seminoles in every category. Heisman hopeful, Tim Tebow, threw for 185 yards with 3 TD's and ran for 80 yards, adding another touchdown on the ground. The Gators had a total of 317 rushing yards, led by Chris Rainey with his 97 yards and Jeffery Demps' 89 yards with 1 TD. Tight End Aaron Hernandez hauled in 2 touchdowns with 61 receiving yards. Percy Harvin scored the first touchdown on a 9 yard rush, but he was injured during the game and never returned. Florida is hoping to have him for the SEC battle against Alabama, but they are unsure of Harvin's status. Florida picked off the Seminoles' QB's 3 times, and the wide receivers for the Seminoles had 6 dropped passes. Florida continued their dominance, winning 8 games in a row since the Ole Miss loss. Next week is the 1-2 showdown against Alabama for the SEC title and a spot in the National Championship. Florida State does not win the ACC Atlantic Conference after Boston College defeated Maryland 28-21.


Tim Tebow, a living legend in Gainesville, is continuing to add on to his legacy. Tebow may not be the favorite for the Heisman Trophy, but he is playing better this year then he did in his Heisman year. His 2007 stats are tremendous and are better then his stats this year, so how can he possibly being playing better this year? Last year the Gators finished with 3 losses, this year, as of now, they have 1 loss and are in great position to compete for the BCS championship. Also, he is not relying on running the ball himself as his did all of last year. Instead, Tebow is handing the ball off to his great running backs, Emmanuel Moody, Chris Rainey, Jefferey Demps and the always dangerous Percy Harvin. This leads to Tebow being able to get time to showcase his arm, which this year he has made quality and smart throws. An astonishing stat for the Gators is that they have only trailed once, and that was the loss against Miss. St. Tebow may not win Heisman this year, but for him, all he wants is another shot at the title. Don't forget, Tebow is only a Junior, he still has the decision to stay another year. In my opinion, how could you pass up the life he has at college, he is a walking legend in Gainesville. College only comes once, the NFL won't disappear, Tebow can afford to stay another year in college, it will only help him.
