GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Tim Tebow kept Florida's perfect season
intact.
Tebow directed a 69-yard drive in the final minutes, setting up
Caleb Sturgis' 27-yard field goal with 9 seconds remaining that
gave the top-ranked Gators a 23-20 win against Arkansas on
Saturday.
Was it Tebow's Heisman moment?
Regardless, it kept Florida unbeaten and likely No. 1 in the
country. And maybe even the Gators' chances to repeat as national
champions.
On a day when little went right for the Gators, Tebow took over down the stretch. He threw for 255 yards and a touchdown, ran for 69 more and saved his best plays for when Florida needed him most.
He threw for 30 yards and ran for 22 on the final drive. Three
plays stood out: His 12-yard pass to Riley Cooper on third down and
consecutive runs that gained 16 yards and got Sturgis well within
his comfort zone.
