GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow was good early and even better late, enough to help No. 5 Florida snap a six-game losing streak against rival Miami.

Tebow threw two touchdown passes, speedster Percy Harvin ran for a score and the Gators used a swarming defensive effort to beat the Hurricanes 26-3 tonight at The Swamp.

It was Florida's first victory since 1985 in the on-again, off-again series that used to be one of the best and most heated in the nation.
