Meyer is to blame for Tebow's injury. He's lucky its not more serious and he has 2 weeks to recover. Why does he leave Tebow in the game when the game is won. Why not start preparing Brantley for next year or if Tebow is injured.

You would think he would have pulled him a lot earlier.

People read way too much into this. Game wasn't over. Pulling Tebow at the start of the 4th would have been expected, game was in the third. UF wasn't "padding" Tebows stats, he was barely throwing the ball.

Of course you should pull your starter in the 3rd while up 3 scores in the SEC.



Now that I rolled my eyes at the OP, you should throw out a few stock picks for Monday morning and how about some winning lottery numbers while you are at it.

It's easy to look back and curse Meyer's name especially for rivals. Supposedly that was to be his last series.

That was a freak play.

The bigger question to me is why in the hell do we continue to run an empty backfield set.

Meyer has a man crush on Tebow. I was surprised Meyer did not pull him after the 1st quarter with him having the flu. Does it benefit the body to play football when you have the flu? Just wondering.

You are right. I wish he wouldn't have played. But I can only say that now that I know that Tim got hurt. From our performance in the Q1 he should have sat. The O got stale in Q2.

I used to question this crap all the time but it doesn't do any good.

Example: Why in the hell didn't I sell my Bank of American stock when it got to $9.00 a while back?

Whoa now! rocks and other Gators said UK had the capability of coming back! That game WAS NOT OVER! They have absolutely convinced me.

Meyer did the right thing by leaving him in.

Good lord. Anyone who is so concerned should write Jeremy Foley a letter of protest.

How hard is it to second guess when you know the outcome?

As I said previously, the bigger question is why the hell were we in the empty backfield set and what happened to the left tackle?

The hit by itself would have rung his bell but the knee to the head was just unlucky.

I wish Tim was in there but he was. He was probably coming out the next series.

If KY had scored in the third and Tim was out don't you have to bring him back in. I think we wanted one more score and then let the 2nd teams have the fourth quarter.

We jumped ahead 31 in the first quarter. We were flat the 2nd quarter. The 3rd quarter we wanted to come in and stamp out any hope of a UK comeback.

Everyone notices that UF is weak at WR now and I honestly think that we were working on that still in the game to continue to improve.

I just don't understand why everyone is so quick to curse Urban. What is the point? It's not about him, its about some kid's health now.

I am sure Urban is sitting there right now feeling like pure shite and wishes he could have that moment back and take Tebow out of the game, but he can't.

All this B.S. about how the game wasn't over, hindsight 20/20, etc is B.S. and you know it. Late in the 3rd QTR, 31-7 (4 scores), there is Tebow getting his skull crushed. This is about Tebow's stats and records and the P.R is brings when covered by the media after the game. If you pull him early, then there really isn't much to talk about other than the W.

And, last I checked a player can sub back in if needed. Freak plays do happen and what if his knee buckled instead. It isn't Florida who loses big, it's Tebow.

Now, let Tebow heal and bring his ghey arse down to Tiger Land so there won't be any excuses.
