Albany, NY – Well leading 13-10, the Jets were six minutes away from a win last night...
Then, it was Tebow Time.
Tim Tebow scampered 20-yards for the game-winning touchdown, as the Broncos rallied to beat the Jets 17-13. Sound courtesy of ESPN. Tebow finished with 172 total yards, 92 of those coming on the game-winning 95-yard drive. On the flip side, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez passed for 252 yards, no touchdowns, and a crucial pick-six. Denver and New York are both now 5-5.
In college sports, allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor have hit another major college. Syracuse has placed Bernie Fine, an assistant to Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim, on administrative leave, while local police investigate new allegations. ESPN said it first investigated the accusations in 2003, but decided not to run the story because there was no independent evidence to corroborate the allegations. The investigation comes nearly two weeks after Penn State was devastated by a child sex-abuse case in which former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is accused of sexual abuse involving eight young boys over 15 years.
