Florida's Heisman winning quarterback Tim Tebow produced a game performance against the Kentucky Wildcats overcoming a week of flu before a corner blitz knocked him out of the game in the third quarter. He sustained a concussion from the explosive hit.Reports out of Gainesville have Tebow recovering from the concussion and the flu during the Gators bye week. Tebow is our top rated senior quarterback heading into the fall. This is what we said about him after summer film study:
Three-year starter that may be the most decorated football player in college football history. Left handed passer. Big, strong, smart, and athletic with rare intangibles. Rotated his freshman year with Chris Leak. Has directed the Gators to two national championships in three years. Has thrown 67 touchdown passes and only 11 interceptions in the past three years. Only player in NCAA history to rush and pass for at least 20 touchdowns in a season. Physically and mentally tough. A take charge guy that leads his teammates. Consistent and reliable. Performs under pressure. Plays with confidence. Durable. Can shake off arm tackles and take a hit. Disciplined with the football. Loves to play quarterback. Has a feel for the game. Can make a flat footed throw with a man in his face. Has the ability to make defenders miss and still see the field. Can make a good situation out of a bad one. A competitor with will, passion, and fire to get the job done. Can read coverages but will work to master the NFL complexities. Throws strikes when he has a clean pocket as a drop back passer, but has the ability to throw on the run. Accurate short and medium. Has a variety of deliveries. Will need to work on all the nuances of NFL quarterback play. He has mastered the spread multiple offense that is run first. With the same work ethic, he has a chance and skill level to master NFL quarterback play.
