Tim Tebow Update:

BATON ROUGE, La. — Quarterback Tim Tebow will play Saturday if he passes medical testing before Florida’s game against LSU.

“If he’s ready to play, cleared to play, we’re going to play him,” Florida coach Urban Meyer said Saturday morning in an interview with ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi.

The decision will be made well before the kickoff for the 8 p.m. ET game but probably won’t be known until the team gets to the stadium, a Gators source told ESPN.com’s Pat Forde.
