Former UT quarterback Tebows Florida

This one is a bigger upset than Thursday night's Oregon State victory over USC. Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Jevan Snead threw two touchdown passes and ran for another as Ole Miss stunned Florida and last year's Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow 31-30 in a game played in Florida's "Swamp."

Snead at one point committed to Florida, but then backed out when he learned the Gators were going after Tebow. So he went to Texas figuring he could beat out this small-town nobody named Colt McCoy as Texas' signal-caller. After not seeing much playing time during his freshman year, he asked for and was granted his release and transferred to Ole Miss.

It's interesting. I saw Snead once when he was in high school, in a thrilling Class 4-A state playoff semi-final game in which Highland Park quarterback Matthew Stafford led the Scots to a last-minute victory over Snead's Stephenville team. Stephenville had the game won and only needed to run out the clock, but, for some reason the Stephenville coaching staff called an ill-advised pass that Highland Park intercepted with under two minutes remaining. Stafford deftly led the Scots to the winning touchdown.

Unfortunately, although both Stafford (now Georgia's quarterback) and Snead are in the Southeastern Conference, it's doubtful they will square off against each other again on a college gridiron. Georgia and Ole Miss won't play each other in a regular season game until the 2010 season.
