GAINESVILLE, Fla. � Tim Tebow is defending teammates after off-field issues might have affected the public perception of the Florida Gators this summer. Florida has had at least 25 arrests in four-plus years under Coach Urban Meyer.
The Florida quarterback said his role as a team leader isn�t to �get on anybody� critically but to encourage. His teammates are good guys who were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, Tebow said.
�I take responsibility; our team takes responsibility for that,� Tebow said. �But it hasn�t been guys on purpose trying to do bad stuff. That�s something I care about.�
LB Dustin Doe is the latest Gator to find trouble, serving a suspension stemming from a July arrest for driving with a suspended license.
