Conditioning. Talent. Ball control. Discipline. Destiny. They all played roles.

Tebow remembers a have of togetherness that pulled the Gators through.

“In that fourth quarter, I think we really rallied together and really came up with a lot of fundamentals, found ways to finish,” Tebow said Monday. “I’m really proud of my teammates for that. It was objective kind of a togetherness that we had that we were going to go in there and get this done because we care about each other, because we care that this means so much to each of us and we cannot not finish this game. It means too much for us.
