In this Oct. 17, 2009, file photo, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow scambles during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Arkansas in Gainesville, Fla.

Through eight games, Tim Tebow is having a mediocre season by his standards. And to think a second Heisman Trophy could be a couple of big games away.

FOOTBALL Husker plan: Keep Red Raider offense off field LINCOLN - - Nebraska ran 80 plays last season at Texas Tech and held the football for more than two-thirds of the game against the Red Raiders.
