Author and sports broadcaster Tim Tebow says his Christian faith has helped give him the right perspective on life, including during one of the most significant losses of his collegiate career at the end of his senior year.<\/p>\n

The Heisman Trophy winner and former Florida quarterback acknowledged that a loss in 2009 to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game still hurts because it stopped the Gators from competing for another national title. On Instagram, Tebow commented on the situation alongside a picture of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium marking the years of Florida\u2019s national titles: 1996, 2006 and 2008. He won national titles in 2006 and 2008 after claiming the Heisman Trophy in 2007.<\/p>\n

Alabama dominated Florida 32-13 in 2009, spoiling the end of his senior season. The loss may have stopped him from winning another Heisman. Alabama\u2019s Mark Ingram claimed the SEC Championship Game MVP and won the Heisman the following weekend. Tebow wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to feel like there shouldn\u2019t be another number up there \u2013 96, \u201806, \u201808 and 2009.\u201d<\/p>\n
