On Saturday night, in the 3rd quarter of the game against the Kentucky Wildcats, Florida Gator quarterback Tim Tebow took a punishing, eye-opening hit from Wildcat defensive end Taylor Wyndham. As Tebow was on his way to the ground, his head hit offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert’s knee. There was nothing but silence in Commonwealth Stadium as both the Gator and Wildcat fans watched in awe. Tim Tebow was on the ground for minutes, and for the first few minutes there was no movement from him. He was completely knocked out. The entire Florida Gator team looked as if there season was put to an end. It was a shocking moment.

Florida coach, Urban Meyer, was just about to put back-up quarterback John Brantley into the game. It was believed to be Tebow’s last drive of the game before the injury. Tebow sat on the sideline for a while to regain consciousness. When he was well enough, he was carted to the ambulance and taken to the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital. His injury was said to be a concussion.

This injury couldn’t have happened at the right time. The Florida Gators have a bye week this week and will head to Louisiana on Oct. 10 to face off with SEC rival (NO. 4) LSU. Meyer has said that he had already planned to give a few of his veteran players a couple days off. Tim Tebow will be monitored closely by Florida’s medical staff and he won’t be practicing much this week. Will he be able to bounce back from the concussion? Does “Superman” really have the toughness that people think? We will see when it goes down in Tiger Stadium, also known as Death Valley.
