Backup quarterback Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes, including one on a play that could have came from basketball coach Billy Donovan's playbook, and ran for a score to give the fifth-ranked Gators a 23-10 win against No. 9 LSU on Saturday.
Facing a second-and-goal play with less than a minute remaining in the first half, Tebow took the snap and ran toward the line of scrimmage. He pulled up -- much like a jump-shooter would -- double clutched to allow tight end Tate Casey to get open, then kind of flipped the ball over several defenders.
"You've got to be creative in this league," Gators coach Urban Meyer said.
Florida improved to 6-0 for the first time since 1996 -- the school's lone national championship season -- and extended its home winning streak to 13 games. The Gators (4-0 Southeastern Conference) also beat the Tigers for the first time in three years and won their 18th straight homecoming game.
