GAINESVILLE, Florida (Ticker) -- Tim Tebow showed that Floridawas not going to let a disappointing loss stop it from takingcare of business.


Tebow threw for three touchdowns and rushed for two more as the18th-ranked Gators rolled to an easy 49-22 victory overVanderbilt in a Southeastern Conference contest Saturday.

Bouncing back from a disheartening 42-30 loss Georgia last week,Florida (6-3, 4-3 SEC East) continued its dominant run over theCommodores in the all-time series, winning for the 17thstraight time and 26th in the last 30 meetings.


It was a much-needed confidence boost for the Gators, who travelto No. 23 South Carolina next Saturday in what could prove tobe a critical East Division matchup for the defending nationalchampions.


"Today was a great day," Florida coach Urban Meyer said. "Imust say that I didn't anticipate (that)."


"We needed to have a good day," Tebow said. "That was ourmindset. We came in with a chip on our shoulder, upset aboutlast week, and our goal was to score every time we touched theball. We were pretty close to that today."


Rushing for the opening score of the game and another in thethird quarter, Tebow set a league record for most touchdownsruns by a quarterback in a season with 14.


He also entered the school record books with those two TDs,moving into a tie with Emmitt Smith and Buford Long for the mostsingle-season rushing touchdowns in school history.

Tebow also completed 22-of-27 attempts for 281 yards. Thesophomore twice found Andre Caldwell for a touchdown, includinga 14-yard scoring play that gave the Gators a 35-7 lead 42seconds before the half.


Also entering the record books was wide receiver Percy Harvin,who became the first player in school history to record both 100yards rushing and receiving in the same contest.


"Offensively Percy Harvin, he's one of the most dynamicplaymakers in the country and the first one in the history ofFlorida football to rush and receive for 100 yards," Meyer said."He's strong, he's powerful and he's a heck of a footballplayer."


The sophomore finished with 113 yards on the ground on 11carries and caught nine passes for 110 yards. He twice ran fortwo scores, including an 18-yard romp for a 14-0 lead with justover five minutes left in the first quarter.


Mainly a runner that gets his big runs by breaking to theoutside, Harvin focused on staying behind his blockers toaccomplish his impressive performance.


"We knew a lot of teams were going to take away my outsiderunning, so we faked to the outside and ran it inside," Harvinsaid. "One thing I wanted to work on this year was beingpatient behind my blockers. Last year, I just used my speed toget out on the outside. I just tried to slow down and get myblocks in front of me."


Caldwell had a career-high nine catches for 103 yards en routeto recording his first multi-touchdown contest since lastseason's 42-0 rout of Central Florida on September 9.

While the offense rolled up impressive stats, the Gators'defense also came up big. It held the Commodores to just 162yards passing, 255 total yards and caused two turnovers.

"On defense we were all waiting for that," Meyer said. "Thatwas excellent defense to hold a very talented group to a verylimited number of yards and plays. We didn't have a sack theentire game because we played against the run."


Mackenzi Adams finished with 160 yards passing and a rushing TDfor Vanderbilt (5-4, 2-4 East), which dropped to 1-2 againstranked foes this season.
