It was Brett Farve’s debut against former New York Jet Chad Pennington and the Miami Dolphins. As for Farve who joined the Jets early in the preseason after coming out of retirement he looked as though he did at the end of last season(except for the game ending interception that ended Green Bays superbowl dream). 

Still getting used to the new offense the Dolphins were able to keep close with the Jets and almost have a chance to win it at the end of the game. Chad Pennington was able to bring the Dolphins within 6 points in the 4th quarter with the ball on the Jets 18 yards line with about 30 seconds to go. The Dolphins were unable to convert a first down more less a touchdown. On a 3rd and 10 play Pennington throw an interception in the endzone to end the game.

Though this game was closer then most people expected it was just the first game of the season and these two teams are still getting used to new quarterbacks.It will be interesting to see how the Jets do against the Patriots next week(Giving the fact that at the moment Tom Brady is hurt). As for the Dolphins, even though they lost they look a lot better than they did last season.

It might be hurricane season and Florida is always in the path of a storm, but these hurricanes were more like a Tropical Storm. 

The first half was not very exciting. Many people would have expected heisman winner Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators to put big numbers on the board early, but they would struggle in the first half to find their rhythm. This was due to the hurricanes defense in the first half by keeping pressure on Tebow.

Maimi’s offense could not get the ball in the endzone. They would settle for a field goal. The highlight of the first half was a blocked punt by Demps(a Gator) late in the 2nd quarter which resulted in a saftey. Going into halftime the score was 9-3. Gators on top by 6.  

The 3rd quarter would go much like the first half. The Gator’s would get a call reversed late in the 3rd quarter. The officals reviewed the play and confirmed that the recievers elbow was in bounds. The Gator’s would score on an option play in the 4th quarter making the score 16-3. Miami’s defense would still put pressure on Timbow in the 2nd half of the game, but their offense was still unable to put anymore points on the board. Tebow would throw a touchdown pass to Murphy with 8:59 left to go.It was a 5 play 95 yard touchdown drive that only took 1:34.

Later in the 4th quarter the Gator’s would have a 52 yard touchdown pass brought back because of penalty. They would settle for a field goal with a little over 30 seconds left in the game. The ending score would be Gator’s 26 and the hurricanes 3.

Tim Tebow would complete 23 of 35 passes for 256 yards and 2 touchdowns in the win against Miami. The 35 pass attemps was the highest in his career. This shows that Tebow is trying to show that not only can he run, but he can also pass the ball.
