Tim Tebow jumped around and waved his arms high above his head as he jogged off the field late in the fourth quarter. Florida fans responded with chants of "Tebow, Tebow, Tebow." Tebow vowed to play harder following his last home game, a humbling home loss to Mississippi two weeks ago. The Heisman Trophy winner backed up that promise with his best game of the season Saturday night. Gator Bait

LSU has allowed 50 or more points just five times in its long history of SEC play. Saturday night's debacle in Gainesville, however, marked the third time Florida has been the culprit. Here's a look at the figures:
LSU Allowing 50+ Points Since Formation of SEC (1933) Year Opponent Score 1996 Florida 56-13 1980 Miss. St. 55-31 1993 Florida 53-3 2008 Florida 51-21 2007 Arkansas 50-48 Tebow threw two touchdown passes to Percy Harvin and ran for a score, and No. 11 Florida thumped defending national champion LSU 51-21 at Florida Field. "I think we had a little chip on our shoulder going into the game," Tebow said. The fourth-ranked Tigers (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) had won six consecutive games, 19 in a row at night and 23 straight in regulation. Florida (5-1, 3-1) ended all those streaks with a fast start and some huge plays from Tebow, Harvin, Jeff Demps and Brandon Spikes
