After the game, several LSU defenders waited for Tebow to finish interviews so they could shake his hand. As DT Charles Alexander put it: “He came out there and gave a great effort. He is one of the greatest college football players to play the game.”

Here’s what Kiffin said about Tebow after the Tennessee game:
“I don’t think he’s human. I really don’t. There were times when I asked [the coaches in the booth] on the headset, ‘Is he ever going to wear down?’ But he never does. Our defense worked hard and you just prayed to get it to third-and-4, because if it was third-and-3, he was going to put his head down and run over people.”

ted, are you joking here? tebow is used like a fullback. he runs inside the tackle.

so after reading through all the comments, i’m still no more enlightened about the colt resume’s “stat threshold” that the tebow resume doesn’t have. i can understand debates about yards thrown and percentage completed vs. TDs/INTs/passer-rating. but there’s no way one of those two is clearly superior to the other, so much so that one player has reached a threshold and the other player hasn’t. particularly when the player on the short side of this magical threshold is also the leading rusher on a rushing offense.

thomas, colt mccoy’s 2009 was no 2007 tebow, either.

Ricky Williams won on a 9-3 Texas team that didn’t win its division or conference in ’98.

This best-player-on-best-team stuff is a new phenominon (the first winner was on a 4-4 team and Paul Hornung won on a 2-8 team).

There is no comparison between Gerhart and the others except that Stanford is “merely” 8-4 against a very, very tough schedule and with wins against a couple of top 10/11 teams.
