I call BS! Quite simply... Tebow doesn't play defense.
Gators score 30 points and we should win! Defense stops ol' miss ONE time and we win. Defense doesn't allow an 85 yard TD to answer and we win... Offense did what they had to do. Defense does not. Why are you blaming the leader on offense for something that is quite clearly a defensive loss. Blame your defensive leader... if we have one.
