After suffering a concussions two weeks ago against Kentucky, many are wondering whether Tim Tebow can or should play this weekend at Death Valley. The top ranked Gators are taking on the number 4 ranked LSU Tigers. Florida coach Urban Meyer has stated that it will likely be a game-time decision.
Meyer said there would be ongoing evaluation and communication up until the 8 p.m. ET kickoff Saturday.
Meyer said he would err on the side of caution on whether to play Tebow even if the quarterback gets medical clearance. Tebow underwent more testing Wednesday morning.
Meyer also said the crowd noise at Tiger Stadium could be a factor.
Personally, I would lean on the side of caution and not play Tebow. Win or lose I cannot see anybody keeping Florida out of the National Championship game with a minimum 1 loss assuming they win the SEC Championship. I would want to make sure that Tebow is completely healthy for that game.
If Tebow does not play, it is not a given for LSU. Backup QB John Brantley is very capable. LSU will also have to solve their offensive woes against a very stingy and veteran Florida defense.
I obtained this autograph from Tim c/o his home address in 25 days during the summer after his sophmore year.
