The Florida senior quarterback, our favorite allstar Tim Tebow managed to throw a total of four touchdowns, rushing for another as the No. 1 team Gators chalked their second win for the season, their 12th straight win after claiming 56 to 6 against the Troy Trojans who are currently 0 and 2 for the season. They did this at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in front of more than 90,000 fans.
For the second time in his career, Tebow managed to throw a surprising four touchdown passes in a single game. The last time this happened was in 2007 in Kentucky with a 45 to 37 win. He managed twice to hook up with Deonte Thompson who caught two touchdown passes, a career high, for 69 yards. He also connected with Riley Cooper as well as Brandon James to make scores.
Tebow managed to rack up a total of 237 yards up in the air, competing 15 out of 24 passes to accompany his four scores and he kept his nation-leading streak of 30 games with a touchdown pass going strong.
Under rainy conditions and plenty of clouds, both teams unfortunately got off to quite a slow start. The gator defense managed to hold the Trojans for three possessions and both teams managed to surrender fumbles. The Florida senior defensive end, who is Jermaine Cunningham managed to cause the first, then a drop by DuJuan Harris from Troy was recovered by Justin Trattou, the junior defensive end.
This fumble and recovery managed to lead to the first score for the Gators, and once they got going they couldn't seem to find a way to stop. In the last six minutes of the second quarter, Florida managed to capitalize on Troy's back to back errors in order to bring the score up to 35 to 3. By the halftime, the Gators had a sturdy lead of 32 points.
By the third quarter, and with only six minutes remaining on the clock, John Brantley, a redshirt sophomore, took over at the quarterback post and finished the day for the gators with a total of 135 yards and having completed 10 out of 12 passes and throwing a touchdown.
By the end of the game, the Gators had 56 and the Trojans only had 6. Florida is going to be continuing its home stand on September 19, which is when Florida goes up against Tennessee at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. They will be opening up 2009 SEC play with this one, and kick off is currently slated for 3:30 pm. The game is going to be broadcast live nationally thanks to CBS.
