Emotional Tebow vows to fight on

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low

Say this for Tim Tebow. He wears his emotions on his sleeve.

I've heard some making light of his emotional apology to Florida fans following the Gators' 31-30 home loss last Saturday to Ole Miss. But if you've ever spent any time around Tebow, you know there wasn't one thing phony about what he said.

That's just Tebow. He plays football with passion. He lives his life with that same passion and does his best to spread the Christian faith with that same passion.

Tebow, the best short-yardage player in the college game, was stopped on fourth-and-1 at the Ole Miss 32-yard line in the final minutes, sealing the Gators' fate.

"A lot of good will come out of this," an emotional Tebow told reporters after the game. "You have never seen any player in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the season, and you'll never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season. You'll never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season. God bless."

Sounds like Arkansas might want to prepare for No. 15 lowering his head a few times Saturday in Fayetteville.
