08:16 AM ET 01.02 | Merely bringing up the name makes for lofty praise. Louisville defensive coordinator Vance Bedford sees a lot of Tim Tebow in Jeff Driskel. Gators senior running back Mike Gillislee, who has played with both quarterbacks, sees even more in store for Driskel than the player considered by many the greatest Gator. "Tim Tebow is a great quarterback, I don't want to take nothing from him," Gillislee said Sunday as Florida prepares for Wednesday night's Sugar Bowl. "But I think Driskel is going to be a lot better." ... Bedford said Driskel will be "a concern" for his defense when the No. 3 Gators and No. 21 Cardinals square off in the Superdome. "You see a version of Tim Tebow in him," Bedford said. "He's big. He's strong. He's fast. He's athletic."

hmmmm....let me think.....Tebow's accomplishments:
Won SEC East

I'd settle for that if I were Driskel.

Because you don't like national titles? Or Heisman trophies?

NFL has turned Tebow into a frustrated unhappy dude.

LHN would simulcast the Longhorns games with just a camera on Boom. Higher ratings than the actual games.
If Boom wants to go to a place that values money over winning then he is not the right coach for UF.

no, the NFL showed that Tebow can play in a run-first, shotgun only offence- not offences that rely on passing, reading your progressions then running. Inaccurate passing by running qb's will only take you so far in the NFL.

Really? The only thing I've heard is Larry Porter will be the next TX running back coach.

I've seen your hook in a couple of places already this morning. Is your New Year's resolution to stock the freezer with fresh fish this year...? ;-)
