Offensive Coordinator Leaves Coordinator Against Reinfeldt

"Of course I watched it," she said of last week's OT playoff win over Pittsburgh, in which a 20-yard crossing pattern-turned-80-yard touchdown landed the QB on Letterman's Top 10 a few days later. "It doesn't matter who they're playing, I'll pay attention if he's there."

"What can I tell you, he's beautiful," she said, with a laugh. "My fiance knows. If Tim ever gets my number, we're probably going to delay the wedding a while."

Though it was worn this year by anonymous freshman cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy, the blue-and-orange No. 15 made famous over Tebow's four Florida seasons remains a hot ticket in myriad sports shops and department stores across Gainesville, not to mention en masse in the Swamp on game days.

Outside the stadium, just an arm's length from fellow Gator legends Steve Spurrier and Danny Wuerffel, the bronze statue of Tebow unveiled last spring draws an overwhelming majority of pre-game photography traffic from fans - both home and visiting.

And while some outsiders cringe at the devotion, to him it's all good.

"I tell my wife all the time it is like watching my little brother play every Sunday."

Their hero's next chance at a miracle comes Saturday night in Foxborough, where most people are convinced he'll need exactly that to help the Broncos defeat their top-seeded opponents in the AFC playoffs - Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

"They let him play how he plays," Foley said. "Throwing the ball on first down, things like that. That's what he did when he was here. You didn't see that with him before (in Denver). It works."

Las Vegas remains unswayed, with odds-makers generally viewing the Pats as a two-touchdown favorite on the eve of the Gillette Stadium showdown, which rewards the winner with an AFC title-game berth.
