Tim Tebow is just one of many football observers who takes major issue with some of the faked injuries that occur throughout college football seemingly every Saturday, and this week was no different than the rest.
Tebow got pretty worked up during Saturday’s SEC Nation from Jacksonville ahead of the matchup between Florida and Georgia at “The World’s Largest Cocktail Party.”
“We’re celebrating college football right now,” Tebow said. “That’s a different thing from soccer. Both are amazing. Let’s keep football as football and let’s not do that.”
A number of analysts and coaches have gotten fed up with false injuries, many of which are pathetically bad and obviously not real. Ole Miss has been one of the largest suspected culprits of this under head coach Lane Kiffin, drawing multiple complaints from fans and analysts alike. But they are far from the only ones.

Florida and Georgia are set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET in Jacksonville in EverBank Stadium. Tebow’s alma mater has struggled in the Cocktail Party rivalry recently, dropping 6 of the last 7 meetings and 3 in a row.
