On Saturday, Emory Jones set a new Florida Gators record for total offensive in a game, throwing for 464 yards and six touchdowns and rushing for another 86 yards and a score. His 550 yards of total offense surpassed the 533 accrued by Tim Tebow in his brilliant final collegiate game.
Tebow earned those in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, a 49-10 stomping of Cincinnati, because he — and Florida — could do anything he wanted on the field that evening.
Jones earned his today, in a 70-52 win against Samford, because he — and Florida — needed him to get them to stave off an all-time embarrassment.
