Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has never had trouble getting up for a game. But for a Jacksonville native preparing for his final Florida-Georgia game today, there’s even more motivation.

Tebow is tied with Georgia legend Herschel Walker for the most career rushing touchdowns in SEC history at 49. Breaking that record against the arch-rival Bulldogs would have extra meaning.

“It’s an honor to be even mentioned or tied with Herschel,” Tebow said. “To break it versus Georgia would be really cool and special.”
