GAINESVILLE — Florida coach Urban Meyer has something to tell people.
Freshman backup quarterback Tim Tebow can throw the football, too.
Don't be fooled by Tebow's fullback performances - seven between-the-tackle runs, zero passes - last week at Tennessee.
Don't believe Meyer? Then he wants you to tune in to tonight's matchup against Kentucky.
Tebow should get a chance to toss the ball around and maybe lead the No.'5 Gators (3-0, 1-0 SEC) in a few series against the Wildcats, who have the SEC's lowest-rated defense. Kentucky (2-1) is 1-0 in the SEC for the first time in 19 seasons and winless in Gainesville since 1979.
"I guess from what I hear, when Tebow's in the game it's a run," Meyer said. "He can't throw ...
"I'm just kidding. He's very comfortable (throwing the ball). We'd like to have that happen in a game."
Questions about Tebow's passing ability might be a bit of a sore spot with Meyer.
But Tebow doesn't care what he does. He just wants to play.
