    Re: Its ridicules to pick Florida to win if Tebow can’t play

    With or without Tim Tebow, One thing remains true " Florida is Great Football Team "

    BUT To be quite honest with you I am not going to swing on the nut sack of Florida's stats. They have been beating up on Teams that would lose to Texas High School Teams. And they should be with the amount of Talent on the field as they have.

    Florida’s schedule is Garbage, it’s a delightful stroll right into the SEC Championship game.

    Yes, stats are facts, and Florida's are very Impressive. But I will happily trade in everything that is on paper for the Biggest Advantage of all.

    A HOME GAME, AT NIGHT IN DEATH VALLEY!!!!!!

    And as far as looking past Florida???????? I am not even going to comment on that statement.

    The emotional wherewithal is what he is lacking. Being on the sidelines or High School is different. Hopefully he will have the mental resilliance to coemback in the face of pressure. He's got the talent but can he handle a night game in Baton Rouge. Not many can. That is why I will be one nervous Gator all game long. Talent without courage and smarts will only get ya so far. I hope Brantley can pull it together. I really dont want Tebow in there at all. If Tebow plays, LSU's chances of winning go up big time. He will not be 100% by Saturday, no way. He is at his best when he s running headlong into safety's and plowing em over. If Tebow plays they will try and keep him behind the line of scrimmage and that is not his strong suit. If Brantley plays and is protected and he can hit Hernandez and Cooper the Gators chances along with their run game will give them the best shot to win. Play Brantley until Tebow is 100%

    I don't think he could possibly be back to 100% by game time, either, but do you really think he would play if he wasn't 100%? I kind of expect that if we see Tebow, it will be the usual Tebow, playing his usual game.

    The tough thing is that we have not been known to put pressure on QBs with the rush. Maybe our coverage skills might put pressure on him not to throw a pick, but the pressure probably won't be from our rush. I sure hope that Chavis throws every blitz in the book at this guy. This is not the time to go soft zone. We need to rattle him early.

    I am not going to dignify the starter of this thread with a response to his original topic...

    In reality LSU Defense is preparing for 2 completely different Florida Gameplans right now. Kind of Scary. I just hope we can manage the clock, move the chains and keep our Defense well rested.

    I really hope we see more of Shepard. Jefferson needs to either get rid of the football sooner, or start making some big plays with his legs.

    Sacks from our D would be nice, I havent seen one of those since Vandy and I've seen Jefferson hit the turf 12 times since then. 6 last week alone!

    He was looking pretty slow back there, maybe a little too comfortable

    Yeah, I am torn as to which scenario puts you guys at a disadvantage.

    If Tebow is not 100 percent and cannot play full bore like he always does, then LSU stands their best chance.

    Brantley can throw the ball much better but that may not matter much because Florida is lacking in the receivers department. Fernandez is the only one that scares me at TE. He is gifted.

    I think Tebow would want to play but there is no way the coaching staff would want him to unless he is 100%. Iam no Dr. but I would like Brantley more than a 75% Tebow who is held back from grinding.

    If Chavis is smart he will do exactly that, blitz! I hope we can pick it up and free up Hernandez and some short slant routes with YAC.

    Urban Meyer did say, he will have to Chain Tebow to the bench to keep him off the field in Baton Rouge. I believe Meyer will leave it up to Tim. This is his Senior Season, Tim wants a Win in Death Valley on his Resume....But who knows.

    Im still worried we have to prepare for 2 different gameplans, attacks, and weapons!

    Disagree. Tebow won't play unless the doctors clear him to play.

    On another note, the Vegas oddsmakers have us as a 9 point dog. That's a big number given the uncertainty as to the status of Tebow.
