Tebow Sugar Bowl Highlights and Presser

David — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 19:41:48 +0000

I wanted to wait a few days and let some of the highlight videos come out on Youtube before I posted this article. This s for those of you who didn’t get to watch the game, or maybe you’re just a die hard Tim Tebow fan and want as much of him as you can get.

In today’s post, I have a highlight video that goes through the entire game and shows all of Tim Tebow’s plays. It’s about six minutes long.

The second video is the post game press conference that starts out with Urban Meyer and then gets into Tim Tebow. They ask him questions about hi performance, Urban’s future and his own future in the NFL. It’s about 9 minutes long.

Tim Tebow Sets BCS Record in Sugar Bowl Win

David — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:27:53 +0000

The Florida Gators handled the Cincinnati Bearcats 51-24 in the 2010 Sugar Bowl tonight. Tim Tebow played his final game as a Florida Gator and man did he go out with a bang. Tim played as close to a perfect game as I’ve ever seen him. Tim had 533 total yards (482 passing and 51 rushing) – breaking Vince Young’s record of total yards in a BCS game. Tebow also accounted for 3 touchdowns in the air and 1 on the ground.

Tebow was 31/35 passing and connected with 6 different receivers. Riley Cooper led the way with 181 yards receiving and Aaron Hernandez led the team in receptions. Tim threw touchdowns to Cooper, Hernandez and Thompson.

It’s hard to imagine Tim Tebow going out in any other way. We saw him throw the ball like a Heisman winner should. We saw him run the ball like a freaking maniac – I saw him lower the shoulder a few times. And he protected the ball, made wise decisions and was a leader on and off the field. I love the way Tim motivates the players. They showed him head butt David Nelson with their helmets on and Nelson got knocked back 5 feet. It was great.

It will be sad seeing Tim go – but also exciting as he ventures on to the next level. For now let’s enjoy this Sugar Bowl victory.

Tim Tebow Sugar Bowl Halftime Report

David — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 03:30:16 +0000

Well it’s halftime at the Sugar Bowl. If you’re recording the game and don’t know to know what’s happening then don’t read any further.

What an amazing first half. Tim Tebow is having a GREAT game and the Florida Gators are beating Cincinnati 30-3. Tim completed I think his first 12 passes in a row and has throw for 321 yards and 3 touchdowns. Tim hadn’t throw for over 300 yards in a single game all year, and now he’s done it in the first half of the Sugar Bowl. A 80-yard touchdown reception by Riley Cooper near the end of the 2nd quarter certainly helped. This is pretty much Tebow’s best game of the entire year.

Tebow’s Eye Black for the Sugar Bowl is Ephesians 2:8-10

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Check back after the game and I’ll give you a full recap.

Tim Tebow Sugar Bowl Preview

David — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 07:25:24 +0000

The No. 5 Florida Gators will face off with the No. 3 undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats tomorrow night in New Orleans for the Allstate Sugar Bowl – one of five BCS Bowl games. Tim Tebow will lead the Gators in action for the final time in his college career – it’s going to be a great and yet somewhat sad day for Gator fans across the nation.

The Gators have been in New Orleans practicing all week. They’re getting ready for a primetime game that everyone will be watching. All college football fans want to see how Urban Meyer feels and witness Tim’s farewell performance. Do you think he’ll be able to bounce back after that disappointing loss to Alabama in the SECCG?

“I don’t think you’re over a loss. It’s going to hurt, probably will hurt for a while,” Tebow said. “I think we’re over the point where we’re feeling sorry for ourselves and we’re getting back to working, working hard and just getting better.”

Tim Tebow is 2-1 all-time in Bowl games, including two National Championships. He’s not afraid of the big stage – in fact he loves it. He comes into the game with 2,400 yards passing, 859 yards rushing and 31 total touchdowns. He’s been a machine his four years at Florida and I expect nothing less in his final game. I am predicting Tim to throw for 300 yards plus 4 touchdowns and rush for 70 yards plus 1 touchdown. He’s going to have a huge game against Cincinnati’s mediocre defense. The o-line will block for him and the running game will help open things up down field. I’m very excited for this game.

The Sugar Bowl will air at 8:30 PM ET on Fox. If you have Time Warner Cable, you might not get the game on TV so make plans to find a sports bar with a dish.
