Hot-button issue: Florida
August 9, 2007
As we count down our top 25, Sporting News identifies the biggest question facing each team.
How will QB Tim Tebow react when forced to make plays in the passing game?
As good as Tebow was last season as a freshman, it wasn't necessarily a true indicator of the impact he will have at Florida. We'll see that this season -- the good and the bad.
Simply put, Tebow won't have the same success this season with his arm as he did last year with his legs. He has all the tools to be a terrific passer, but he has yet to be put in a situation where the defense knows he's going to throw the ball.
It's a lot different throwing the ball when the defense expects an off tackle run from the shotgun (like nearly every play last season) than it is when it's third and nine and everyone in the park knows the ball is going in the air.
Any comments?
