If Tim Tebow wasn't a former Florida quarterback who won a Heisman Trophy and became a cultural icon 15 years ago thanks in part to his off-the-field life, he probably wouldn't be talking about football on TV. 

Tebow exposed himself as a total fraud while discussing the Tennessee Vols' matchup against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday. 

The former Florida standout hit all the usual talking points while talking about the Vols' offense — everyone knows by now that UT will run a play based on how many players the defense puts in the box — but he went off the rails while discussing Tennessee's success running the ball in their last game against South Carolina. 

"When they get equated numbers in the box, you have to be successful running the ball," said Tebow. "That's something they were [successful at] over and over last year. They have to be more consistent in the running game. Against USC, it was hit or miss. But this week, against A&M and their front seven, it can't be hit or miss. When you got equated numbers in the box, you gotta take advantage of it." 

Tebow is right that Tennessee can't be hit or miss against Texas A&M. But I'm sure every fan that's at the game on Saturday would tell you the same thing. 

It's the comment about Tennessee being inconsistent in the run against South Carolina that's absolutely wild. 

I don't think Tebow watched a second of Tennessee's 41-20 win against South Carolina or even glanced at the box score. 

The Vols absolutely gashed the Gamecocks on the ground. Tennessee rushed for 238 yards against South Carolina (6.0 yards per carry). Jaylen Wright carried the ball 16 times for 123 yards while averaging 7.7 yards per carry. Wright, Jabari Small, and Dylan Sampson each had rushing touchdowns. If that's hit or miss, then I must've missed the misses. 

Maybe Tebow is stretched too thin. Or maybe he just doesn't watch that much college football these days. Whatever the case, it's clear he hasn't been checking in the Vols much this season.
