A look reaction in wake of Tim Tebow's first NFL start
Monday, December 20, 2010 | Football, Men's Tennis, Scott Carter
In his first career start at UF, Tim Tebow led the Gators to an easy 49-3 win over Western Kentucky to open the 2007 season.
How long ago was that? On that day at the Swamp, Tebow threw to receivers Percy Harvin, Louis Murphy, Andre Caldwell and Riley Cooper – and his backup was a guy named Cam Newton.
Tebow made his first career start in the NFL on Sunday in Denver's 39-23 loss to the Raiders. Tebow had a great first quarter, scoring on a 40-yard run and hitting Brandon Lloyd for a 33-yard touchdown pass.
After that, the Raiders took control. Here is a look at some links covering Tebow's starting debut with Denver:
