Tim Tebow 30, Ole Miss 24

Whew! A game that looked like it could be another blowout turned out to be a bit of a nail-biter. In a season where it seems anything can happen, I'm not going to lie, I got a bit worried. The Gators didn't really play poorly, but they seemed a little hungover from last week's effort and all the hype surrounding that game. This was their first test on the road and with a ton of young players, it could have been predicted that the Gators would be a little flat.

Regardless, Tebow basically took over the game and carried the entire team on his shoulders (Literally. He can do that). Tebow wound up setting the Florida QB record for rushing yards and gave a Heisman-worthy performance. He had 426 total yards and a hand in all of the Gators' touchdowns (2 passing, 2 rushing). He also sealed the win with some tough runs. I guarantee you people will start talking about Tebow as the front-runner for the award now. Percy Harvin also came up big and got the opportunity to put up some big numbers as well. Here's the breakdown:
