  On Tim Tebow's amazing stats while in college:
  
  
  Tim Tebow frequently wrote Bible verses on his eye black during his college career at Florida, a practice that became iconic but was banned by the NCAA in April 2010 (effective for the 2010 season), often dubbed the "Tebow Rule."The most famous instance—and what many consider his "amazing stats" tied to the messages—was the 2009 BCS National Championship Game (played January 8, 2009), where he wore "John 3:16". During that game:

  • Over 94 million people Googled "John 3:16" (one of the highest search spikes ever for a Bible verse at the time).

  This led to massive attention and contributed to the eventual ban, as the NCAA cited concerns over personal messages, symbols, and potential controversies.Interestingly, exactly three years later in an NFL playoff game (January 8, 2012, Broncos vs. Steelers), Tebow's stats coincidentally aligned with "3:16":

  • 316 passing yards
  • 31.6 yards per completion
  • Other alignments like opponent time of possession (31:06) and game ratings peaking at 31.6
