Florida and Texas appear to be gathering momentum as they roll through the most difficult portions of their 2009 schedule. Led by Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy, much was expected of the offenses, however, the Longhorns and Gators are making some noise on the defensive side of the ball.
Tim Tebow surpassed Herschel Walker's SEC record for most rushing touchdowns
With Alabama struggling offensively, the bye week could not have come at a better time for the Tide. However, Greg McElroy, isn’t Tebow or McCoy, and he doesn’t have the offensive weapons the Gators and Longhorns are able to deploy. With games remaining against LSU and at Auburn, I don’t expect Alabama to stay undefeated.
Iowa, TCU, Cincinnati and possibly a once-beaten LSU team could slip into the BCS title game under the right circumstances but most college football fans, without an allegiance to one of those teams, is looking forward to a match up of the Longhorns and Gators. I don’t think it’s an over stating things to say that, if it happens, Tebow versus McCoy will be this generation’s Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird. The two best teams led by college football’s two biggest stars.
