Florida begins title defense with 62-3 win

Florida opened its season with a near-perfect performance.
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow (15) runs past Charleston Southern cornerback Chris Kuzdale (24) to score a touchdown on a 1 yard run in the 2nd quarter of an NCAA college football game in Gainesville, Fla., Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009
The top-ranked and defending national champion Gators didn't even care that it came against an overmatched team from the Football Championship Subdivision.
Tim Tebow accounted for 2 touchdowns, Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps had scoring runs, and Brandon James ended the school's longest dry spell for the special-teams in a 62-3 victory over Charleston Southern on Saturday night.
Florida, an overwhelming favorite to repeat as national champs, accomplished everything it wanted to in the opener. The Gators unveiled some new wrinkles, won the game in convincing fashion and avoided any major injuries.
Tennessee visits Gainesville in 2 weeks, we'll see what's shaken then. The Volunteers beat Western Kentucky 63-7 in coach Lane Kiffin's debut Saturday. The SEC Rocks!
