No. 1 Florida 41, Kentucky 7: With one scary hit on Tim Tebow, another Florida blowout turned into the Gators' worst fear.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback was knocked out of Florida's victory at Kentucky last night after a hard shot to the head in the third quarter. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
"I don't know, I think it's a concussion," said Coach Urban Meyer of Florida. "I think he'll be all right. He took a pretty good shot."
The Gators were leading 31-7 and driving deep in Kentucky territory when Tebow was sacked by Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham. As he fell back with Wyndham on top of him, Tebow's head struck teammate Marcus Gilbert's leg, violently bending his neck forward.
Tebow lay motionless for several minutes while Commonwealth Stadium fell silent. He sat up with some help, then slowly made his way off the field to a loud ovation. He was eventually carted off the field with concussion-like symptoms, vomiting several times.
He was taken to a hospital for tests and was scheduled to stay overnight, said Florida spokesman Steve McClain.
Florida is off next week, then plays Oct. 10 at LSU.
The image of their leader laying helpless proved unsettling for the defending national champions.
"He was a little fuzzy coming off the field," said backup quarterback John Brantley. "He was looking around. I guess making sure he was in Kentucky."'
The victory extended Florida's winning streak to 14 games, tops in the nation.
