Michigan linebacker Shawn Crable, navigating his way over the Purdue line, has some freakish skills. He also has a message for Tim Tebow, Florida’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, who he hopes to meet up close in the Capital One Bowl:

“I think y’all are too concerned with this Tebow, I mean he’s just a quarterback. He’s really not [different.] He’s got some freakish stats because they use him differently, they use him in the red zone a lot to run the ball but he’s nothing more exceptional than we’ve ever played against.

“If you ask me about [Oregon’s] Dennis Dixon or you ask me about [former Texas quarterback] Vince Young, I’d be like, now those are some freakish people. You ask me about this guy, he’s just a quarterback.”
