35 points...

35 points...

I wouldn't classify UF's O as a spread-option offense.. just sayin'

still a spread offense with option packages. While yes, they did allow 35 points, they played tebow quite well.

Compared to the last 2 teams they lost to that ran a spread ( Oregon, Appy)

Tebow isn't comparable with the QBs that were at Oregon & ASU .. that was my exact point. Diffrent type of offense.

How is he not comparable? I'll give you that, he might not be as shifty as Dixon or Edwards; but his size gives him the ability to negate that difficulty because he can truck some defenders where the previous two couldn't.

I'll agree, he didn't run quite as much, but to say that his mobility wasn't a threat is nonsense.

They are completely different athletes. Tebow is a mobile but not fast battering ram with a live arm. The other two are very fast, bean-pole QBs with solid but not great passing ability. The fact that both play in spread offenses doesn't make the QBs similar at all.

They did? He scored 4 TDs.

Thanks for proving the point, only giving him four TDs is a vast improvement over what Edwards and Dixon did to the scUM d

SI's Boys Athlete of the Year: Pryor was a star in two sports

When Terrelle Pryor was a short-in-the-tooth, long-in-the-arm sophomore, Jeannette (Pa.) High coach Ray Reitz saw his star takeoff.
Playing against Washington (Pa.) High, the 6-foot-6, 200-pound quarterback eyed a 6-foot linebacker approaching him at the six-yard line. Pryor then jumped over the defender and landed five yards deep in the end zone. No touchdown was signaled by the referee and no flag appeared.
"I thought there was a penalty being called back," Reitz says of the delay. "[The refs] didn't know what they had just seen, but then they lifted their arms for a touchdown. It was like an earthquake where your first reaction is what the hell is happening, and then you call it what it is."

It will be interesting to follow TP in his QB camp progress. Maybe Scout or someone in the loop can keep us informed of his progress?

the 6-foot-6, 200-pound quarterback eyed a 6-foot linebacker approaching him at the six-yard line. Pryor then jumped over the defender and landed five yards deep in the end zone.

So, he jumped over a defender and landed 33 feet away?

Might be time for a 'Legend of Terrelle Pryor' thread...

I heard they didn't know what had happened because he skipped through time.

pswoooosh...and like that, he was gone.

That's nothing......

From April 4, 2008, Helps to explain this gravity defying phenomenom!
The only question is why he landed ONLY 33 feet later.

Pryor said he works regularly on running.

"I run with parachutes on my back on our football field," Pryor said.
