The Florida Gators face the Troy Trojan tomorrow in the Swamp for the second game of the 2009 season. Kickoff is at 12:21 PM EDT so you know it will be a hot one. Troy is no pushover team like Charleston Southern. They can put up a good fight. Remember last year they were up on LSU by like 34 points going into the fourth quarter. You can bet if this game is within 30+ points that Coach Meyer will keep Tim Tebow on the field as long as he has to.

Tim Tebow is healthy and feeling great after only one game. He got his workout in last weekend and is ready for more playing time. Last year against the Miami Hurricanes, Tebow played the entire game if I remember correctly. He was 21-35 for 256 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also rushed the ball 13 times for 55 yards. That was a close game until the end of the third quarter.

The Gators are favored by about 36 points depending on what Sports Book you go to. I think that’s a pretty good number and the Gators should cover that if the starters play the whole game. I’d look for Tim to hook up with Riley Cooper early and often tomorrow. He has great chemistry with Cooper and can trust he’ll run the right route.

My prediction for Tim Tebow in the Troy game tomorrow is 18-25 for 250 yards and 2 touchdowns. He’ll also rush 10 times for 45 yards and a touchdown. Come the second half I think the Gators will pound the ball and won’t have to rely on Tim throwing it so much.
