Surviving this first third of this season for college football has appeared to be something of an extended stand at the goal line for the country's top ten teams. Nine teams have already fallen during the first month of this exciting season, including three that fell just on Saturday alone. LSU just recently narrowly avoided having been the fourth victim this past weekend, having managed to hold of Mississippi State within mere inches of those go-ahead points with only a minute remaining. There are six teams out of the top ten that at current remain undefeated. The University of Florida Gators and the LSU Tigers are two of these teams, and they are slated to go up against one another on October 10.
Florida is currently undefeated at 4 and 0. A lot of their success this week is going to depend on how well the quarterback, Tim Tebow manages to recover, as he recently sustained a concussion on Saturday night while playing against Kentucky. He managed to return home on Sunday afternoon after he spent the night in a hospital in Lexington, Kentucky but only for precautionary purposes. Tebow was injured during the third quarter, and the Gators were ahead at that point with 31 to 7.
He ended up being sacked, and his helmet was struck by a knee. He was already suffering from a respiratory infection so this is only adding fuel to the fire for him. He flew to Lexington on a plane with a small collection of players that was separate from the team. The school also paid for another plane, a third one, for the other players that were ill.
The Gators are heading off this weekend to go up against the No. 4. team, LSU. The status of Tim Tebow is not currently known, and is not actually expected to be revealed until several days have passed.
LSU is also currently undefeated at 4 and 0. Their goal line stand up against Mississippi state was probably the best that they've had so late in the game since somewhere around 1959. This was when Warren Rabb teamed up with Billy Cannon to stop Ole Miss' Doug Elmore just a bit short of a touchdown on October 31, which preserved their 89 yard legendary punt return for a 7 to 3 win, where they claimed an eventual Heisman Trophy.
Things have been tough for LSU so far, and it is really only going to get tougher for them now. While both teams may be as yet undefeated, the UF Gators have a lot of spark that simply does not seem capable of being stopped. The only thing that is going to give LSU an edge is if Tim Tebow has to sit the game out while he recovers from the double hit of a respiratory illness and a concussion, which could be enough to keep him sidelined this upcoming week.
