GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP)—Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow had one big play against Hawaii. That was enough. His teammates had the rest, a welcome change for No. 5 Florida and an early indication of just how potent the Gators could be this season.
Florida scored on offense, defense and special teams—getting big plays from six different players—and routed Hawaii 56-10 in the season opener for both teams Saturday.
Even without injured speedster Percy Harvin (heel) and linebacker Brandon Spikes (toe), the Gators dominated and handed Greg McMackin a lopsided loss in his debut as Hawaii’s head coach.
“Big plays take the wind out of your sails,” Florida coach Urban Meyer said. “Can you expect that from us? I don’t know. There’s some guys that when they touch the ball and if you make a mistake, they can score on you. Fun to watch.”
