Florida quarterback Tim Tebow returns to practice, but not cleared to play - ESPN

For the record, I still don't buy it. I just cannot fathom that a guy who was not allowed to watch television a week ago because the activity was too taxing is now ready to play football. Still, even being on the football field is farther along than I would have expected.

i don't know if it has been mentioned

and i am no doctor, but i would think that the repetitive crowd noise from tiger stadium would have to have some type of impact on a person recovering from a concussion. throw in all the physical requirements and the stress of cmpetition and i dont see there is any way possible that he plays this saturday night. if he is practicing, i speculate it is with the hopes of him playing the following week.

brantley gives the gators a better chance to win than an injured/impaired tebow, and he also give the gators a built in excuse with voters to stay in the top five if they lose. whether fair or not, if lsu wins, this game gets an asterik from every talking head in the nation and columnist in the nation.

I know there has been conflicting information but...

Yesterday during College Football Live ESPN reported that Tebow reported to practice in full pads but they didn’t know if he practiced.

Later, at halftime during the Troy-Mid Tennessee St game, ESPN reported that Tebow reported to practice and will play this Saturday.

Nobody can get their story straight because nobody knows what is going on. It will probably be a gametime decision.

I have a feeling Urban knows

but isn’t saying so LSU has to worry and spend time preparing for both.

I'm proud of my damn strong football team. Have a great day!

Florida can afford to lose this game too...

Think about the SEC East. Every team already has at least one loss.

Does it make sense from Urban’s standpoint to play Tebow now at whatever % of health he is AND expose himself to unbelievably high amounts of hellfire scrutiny should he aggravate the injury?

It would be an incredible risk without much upside. I would say there’s a 90% chance we see Brantley.
