Gators Tebow's Back is Fine

When Florida's Urban Meyer announced Saturday that Tebow had been held out of a scrimmage to rest a sore lower back, it quickly became national news.
On Monday, after being full-go at practice, Tebow said he didn’t understand why his back became such a big deal.
“The first thing from mom and dad, ‘Is everything OK?’ ‘Mom, I’m fine,’ “ Tebow said. “Everything is good. I think it’s funny. I think more than anything it makes people worry, friends of the family say, ‘Is he OK?’ He’s OK.”
Tebow said he likely would have been held out of contact work on Saturday regardless.
“If I was dying, I don’t think I would have been doing any more than I did,” Tebow said. “Coach Meyer generally doesn’t like me going in all situations, just like he doesn’t like Brandon Spikes doing it. I wouldn’t have gone any way.”
Tebow said his back is fine, even though he does continue to get treatment.
When asked how he aggravated it last week, Tebow said, “Probably overwork, like I do everything. It’s that time when you have to ease up and get ready for the season.”
Tebow said he was running around and head-butting teammates at practice Monday, so his back is fine. The SEC Rocks!
