What happens to Florida if Tebow's play is limited

[amazinblue]

There's no doubt that Tebow makes a big difference to the Florida offense. And, that hit yesterday was very solid. Tebow's got a concussion and my question is - what if he's not cleared to go against LSU? I think there are three grades of concussions, and it seems as though Tim may have suffered the most severe grade.

I would not be surprised if Tebow sits against LSU. I do believe that Florida can still win that game - though, it will be a LOT tougher without him.

They are shit out of luck without him. LSU beats them hands down. I would bet big money on it.:D

amazin, do you have a link on the grade of Tebow's concussion? I've been keeping close track and haven't seen that bad of a diagnosis yet. As far as time without Tebow, I think we would be okay until the Georgia game. He would need to be back by then for them to stay undefeated.

Gator,

Any concussion that involves the loss of consciousness is considered a "Grade 3" - the most severe type of concussion.

Tebow's a tremendous player - and, balancing his future - with the immediate opportunity as well as his passion - will be a challenge. I'm sure that he'll want to get into the game against LSU. My question is - can Florida win that game without him? I think they can - maybe because I don't think LSU is "that" strong this year. And, the last thing Florida would want to do is put him in a situation where another hit would have him out of the lineup for a prolonged period.

I hope he's healthy, recovers quickly (and properly), and is back in the lineup soon.
