University of Florida senior quarterback Tim Tebow and junior offensive lineman Mike Pouncey received accolades from the league office Monday for their contributions to UF’s 37-10 victory over Florida State. The Tebow and Pouncey recognitions mark the 10th and 11th UF honors of the 2009 season, as the duo helped the Gators bid farewell to 25 seniors with a defeat over the Sunshine State rival Saturday in front of a Ben Hill Griffin Stadium-record 90,907 fans.Tebow picked up Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors, his second honor of the season, after connecting on 17-of-21 passes for 221 yards and three touchdowns, while adding 90 yards on 15 carries for two scores on the ground against FSU. Tebow accounted for 311 of UF’s 545 yards total offense en route to breaking the SEC record for most total offensive yards in a career (11,389).
Pouncey, the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week, graded out a Champion at 96 percent as a key to UF’s offensive front, and had three knockdown blocks in the victory over FSU. Pouncey helped the Gators accumulate 545 yards of total offense and UF held the ball for 31:24, including eight minutes or more in 3-of-4 quarters of play.
Collaboratively, the Gators were 10-of-13 on third-down conversions and scored on all four tries in the red zone against Florida State. The Gators are now 11-of-14 in the red zone over the past three games, with two of those possessions coming as the Gators ran out the clock at the end of each game.
With the win, Florida posted a 12-0 regular-season record for the first time in UF history and extended its NCAA-leading win streak to 22 straight games.
