The curse of the Heisman Trophy winner sucking it up in the Bowl Game has struck again. Normally you wouldn’t call a four touchdown performance “sucking it up”, but when Tim Tebow is the quarterback, you expect much greater things.
Tebow arguably had his worst performance as a starter against Michigan yesterday in the Gators 41-35 loss to the Wolverines. Tebow was 17-33 for only 154 yards passing. He also carried the ball 16 times for 57 yards.
Gator fans can give Tebow all the excuses they want (like the offensive line played like crap or the refs blew too many penalties). But honestly, Tebow just didn’t play like the Tebow we know. He wasn’t accurate and he wasn’t making good decisions. You can’t put the loss on him, but once again when given a chance to bring the Gators to victory in the fourth quarter he came up short.
There’s no telling if his broken hand still bothered him or what. Tebow and the Gators (minus Percy Harvin who played a hell of a game) just didn’t play good enough to beat the Wolverines. Most of the blame, however, does go on the sorry defense. Scoring 35 points should be enough to win.
Gator Defense- What the hell happened!? I really was disappointed with them. They played a horrible game and I expected sooo much more from them.
Percy Harvin- kicked ass! (I see him and hopefully Tebow at next years Heisman ceremony)
Tim Tebow- Michigan was all over him (maybe that wouldn’t have happened if he was defended better!) and was able to stop him from making any good passing or rushing plays.
No. He made plenty of good passing and rushing plays, good enough to get his offense over thirty points. He just didnt expose the defense like everyone had hoped. He did however stay in the pocket and deliver strikes (no interceptions to Henne’s two). Your offense scores thirty five you win plain and simple, tebow was great, the defense…thats another story. The defense was the reason why tebow couldnt get anything going on that last drive in the fourth.
Dude - its all defense. I havent seen a Gator D get shredded like that in a long time. Tebow and Havin won the game but the D gave it up on Miiichigans last drive. They stop them and we win. Swiss cheese defense doesnt help our boy Tebow. He needs a little support.
