Florida players Matt Patchan (71) and Marcus Gilbert (76) look on as quarterback Tim Tebow (15) lies flat on the turf after being sacked by Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham in the second half Saturday.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida coach Urban Meyer says quarterback Tim Tebow is improving after sustaining a concussion.

Meyer said Wednesday on the weekly Southeastern Conference teleconference that Tebow “looked terrific” when he saw him late Tuesday night.

“That’s the best I’ve seen him,” Meyer said.

Meyer also saw Tebow earlier Tuesday, when the coach went through balance and memory tests with his star player, and said he just looked OK.

Tebow spent Saturday night in a Kentucky hospital after sustaining a concussion during a third-quarter sack against the Wildcats. Tebow did not practice Monday or Tuesday.
