Florida Gators News: Tim Tebow gets big honor, Soccer faceplants in opener, more

To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the Associated Press released its All-Time AP All-America First Team. There are some titans of the sport that made this list almost impossible to crack, but getting the nod as QB1 on this list was Florida Gator legend Tim Tebow.

Tebow earned the honor for his 2007 campaign, the year he won the Heisman, and he earned the nod over the 2005 season Texas QB Vince Young put together.

During that 2007 season, Tebow threw for 3,286 yards and 32 touchdowns. But it was his 23 rushing touchdowns, which were the third most in the country in 2007, that made his 2007 season special.
