Tebow Looked Good

I Do Not Look Forward To Playing Against Him. I Know It Was Kentucky But If He Passes As Well As He Runs He Will Be Tough To Stop. I Would Rather Play Against Leak.

at one point he had 3 rushes for 62 yards, he's going to be awesome

I think he is a good player. I just wonder when he gets the start next year how much running he is going to do. He only plays 3 or so plays and then comes out. If he runs that much when he starts there is going to be a really good chance that he is going to get hurt. I know Meyer ran this offense with UTAH, but they did not face the hard hitting tough Defense in the SEC. I have a feeling he will not be running as much next year. And we have yet to see his arm. So I guess I am trying to say I am not ready to be "scared" to play him yet.

No doubt he is good, but I think you have to temper expectations just a little bit. People tend to fall in love with running QBs due to the excitement factor.

He's definitely an exciting player, and he plays it up too... but for Florida fans to boo Leak, when Tebow hasn't even thrown a pass in the last two games is rather insane.

I won't make a decision until I see him wing it around in a big game. As it is, he looks like he may be very good.

He looks great, but how much time did the Vol's devote in practice to stopping 3rd and 4 draw plays by the back up QB. Again, not to take anything away from Tebow, lets see what happens when he is something other than a "wrinkle".

I can't imagine that it would take too much time to figure out how to stop that.

i agree that it was crappy on florida fans to boo leak, what has he done wrong? just goes to show that florida fans r classless

This is the first year Leak has had the same been running the same offense. His Fr, So, and Jr. years he had a different OC. I think Leak could have been a very very good QB if he had had stable coaching staff.

The joke on sports radio here in ATL on Saturday was the announcer saying he talked to a UT fan friend of his on Friday and he said Chavis just then finally figured out what to do to stop Tebow. You'd figure UK could have as well after seeing him run every time he has the ball.

I think Tebow will be pretty good. He is a stud of an athlete, there's no denying that. Looks like Meyer is breaking him in nicely as well.

In an unrelated story, God bless freak for installing the all-caps prevention.

I would have to believe that Tebow's first pass will come against LSU (if it is a close game and Florida is trailing) or Auburn. I do not believe that Tebow will be able to run that draw with ease against either of those teams DLs, however, Meyer will try to freeze the safeties with Tebow's presence, and then let Dallas Baker make a play against whichever CB is covering.
