Tebow still out, won’t play Saturday
Yep, he’s still down and out.
And just like that, the entire complexion of the 2009 NCAA college football season has changed. Can the Florida Gators remain on top without their prized quarterback? And we thought the injury to Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford was big.
You read it, Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow, regarded by many as the best quarterback in college football today, is out with an injury after getting knocked out in their game against the Kentucky Wildcats last weekend.
Sure, the Florida Gators won the game, 41-7, but after losing Tim Tebow that way that fast, the Gators may have lost a heck of a whole lot than what they gained from beating the Wildcats last Saturday.
With the Florida Gators in control of the game, leading the Kentucky Wildcats 31-7 in the third quarter and driving deep in Kentucky territory, Gators QB Tim Tebow was sacked hard by Wildcats defensive end Taylor Wyndham and as soon as Tebow fell down to the ground, his head hit his teammate Marcus Gilbert’s leg, bending his neck violently.
Ouch.
The 245-pound Tebow lay motionless on the field for several minutes while the crowd fell silent. He sat up with some help then slowly made his way off the field to a loud ovation. Tebow was then carted off the field with concussion – like symptoms, vomiting several times.
Florida Gators head coach Urban Meyer told everybody what Tebow asked him as soon as he was able to speak after the hit. ”He asked me ‘Did I hold onto the ball?”’ Meyer said. ”I told him he did and he winked at me and said ‘It’s great to be a Gator.”’
Yep, the entire scene could be mistaken for one blockbuster movie where the protagonist will come right back up and endure the odds. The question now is, will the Gators?
