Tim Tebow questions whether Texas can match LSU's 'violence'
College football fans will get the first Top 10 matchup of the 2019 regular season in the form of LSU at Texas on Saturday night. These two programs haven’t played in 15 years, but the players have been acting as if it’s an annual rivalry game.
All kinds of trash talking and trolling have occurred all week, but one in particularly stood out in the mind of former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow when he was analyzing the game Friday.
“Texas wearing “DBU” shirts — they planned that,” Tebow said Friday on ‘The Paul Finebaum Show.’ “They knew what that was going to mean.
“But you know what? (Texas) woke some really fierce players for LSU. And LSU’s going to come out and play violent. And can Texas match that violence?”
Tebow also asked whether or not LSU quarterback Joe Burrow would be able to match the playmaking ability of Texas signal-caller Sam Ehlinger, but it does sound as though Tebow is calling LSU the tougher team.
Here’s everything Tebow said during the segment:

This matchup could be one for the ages, as LSU visit Texas for the first time since 1954. Over the last 55 years, these two programs have faced each other just once.
Of course, playoff implications and conference supremacy will be on the line Saturday night as well.
