08:43 AM ET 09.27 | An announced crowd of 71,011 watched in silence as Tebow lay motionless for several minutes after being sacked by Wyndham. While falling, Tebow's head appeared to hit the knee of Florida right tackle Marcus Gilbert. Tim Tebow collapsed after the collision and lay motionless for several tense minutes. His left arm was his last body part to fall on the damp grass of C.M. Newton Field. Trainers rushed to the injured star and knelt by Tebow's head. For at least two minutes, UF's medical staff could do nothing but monitor the quarterback's breathing. He appeared to be knocked out cold. Tebow began vomiting into a trash bag during the fourth quarter, and at that point was wheeled into the locker room. According to Florida associate athletic director Steve McClain, Tebow sustained a concussion and was taken to nearby University of Kentucky Medical Center for further evaluation. Tebow was taken to the hospital by ambulance before the end of regulation. Tebow was to remain hospitalized overnight.
