Tebow has fractured right hand

GAINESVILLE - Quarterback Tim Tebow played the latter part of Saturday night's game against Florida State with a non-displaced fracture in his right, non-throwing hand, school officials confirmed Sunday morning.

Tebow, considered by many to be the leading Heisman candidate, will be in a cast for 2-3 weeks. The injury was not diagnosed until after Tebow's postgame news conference.

Tebow was 19-of-28 for 262 yards and three touchdowns and also rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns.

This season, he has 838 yards and 22 rushing touchdowns. He is 217-of-317 for 3,132 yards, 29 touchdowns and six interceptions. His 22 rushing touchdowns ties the NCAA record for most by a quarterback in a single season.

He also has a school-record 3,970 yards of total offense and his 51 total touchdowns is an SEC record.

Despite the injury, he is expected to play in Florida's bowl game.

Tebow is as tough as they come. He once finish a high school game on a broken leg and scored on a 29-yard touchdown run. Tebow 4 He15man!

Any truth to the rumor Tebow is Gay.

I heard the same thing.

To Henry and the other loser saying Tebow is gay...so what if he is!!! From the level of intelligence of your comment you would have to be a FSU fan...Tebow is the BEST!!!

Who cares about Gainesville teams? This is the Tampa Bay area. The Tampa inferiority complex shines through yet again.

GO BUCS!
GO BULLS!

Excuse me Craig, but UF is the flagship institution of the State of Florida University System. Like it or not, there are far more Gator alumni and fans in the Tampa Bay area than there are Bulls alumni and fans. Have you ever driven I-75 on gameday and observed all the cars headed to `Titleville' to watch the best team in state. How many sell-outs does the USF football team have in a season? Your Bulls basketball team is lucky if 1,000 people show up to watch.

[Tom]

Why do you pull for Bucs Craig? They have 4 Gators (Carter, Graham, Hillard and Ratliff) on the current roster.

People will say what they want about Tebow because he is the best player in college right now. People love to hate you when you are playing great. He will the Heisman and bring us another National Championship next year. Let them hate him, doesn't bother me.

[Hope]

Tina relax it was just a question.

Tom, a little full of yourself. Your basketball team got drilled at home on Friday by the Noles. Most of the SEC is going to beat up on them this year. You guys had a good two years and now thats over.

I'll take 2 national championships in basketball in exchange for a couple average seasons everytime

Enjoy the titles, your heading into many average seasons.

Give us one reloading year and Gator Basketball will be back on top. Billy Donovan had the top recruiting class in the country in 2007 and has the best in the SEC and 5th best in the country for 2008. Can't wait to see
Eloy Vargas, Allan Chaney and Kenny Kadji in Orange and Blue!

Tebow carries the Gators to their fourth straight win over FSU, blowing them out of the Swamp 45-12, and FSU fan 10:42 gets on a Gator blog to talk basketball...LOL

[Tampabaysportsfanatic]

it is all they have Hank. Their program is terrible and will be until they remove Bobby Bowden from his position, but they refuse to do so.

[Craig]

I am a Bucs fan because I am from in Tampa. I pull for the Bulls because I am from in Tampa. It's not hard to understand. People from Tampa are ashamed of themselves. There are more Red Sox, and Yankees fans than Devil Rays fans.

GO BUCS!
GO BULLS!

[Tampabaysportsfanatic]

Craig,

While I agree with you on pulling for the Rays, Lightning, and Bucs because you live in Tampa, college is a different animal. People went to those schools and forever are intertwined with those schools as are there families. College and Pro sports fans are totally different games.

He should be ready to go by the Outback Bowl.

You mean the Capital One Bowl Tim
