Melikalikimaka is Hawaii's Way to Say Merry Christmas to You

Thanks Hawaii. That was easy. It may have not been stunning to beat Hawaii 56-10, but it did make us very happy:

1. Tim Tebow didn't have to do very much. Thank God. Tebow was 9 of 14 for 137 yards and one touchdown. It's a nice change from when Tebow had to put every game on his back and carry it. Tebow was still in the game longer than necessary, but at least Urban was not afraid to yank him out and put in Cam Newton when it was time to ram it in like a gentleman.

2. People with names other than Tebow can run with the ball. Brandon James returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown. Rainey and Demps, who warps time and space, took off on 33 yard and 62 yard touchdown runs, respectively.

3. I can has a secondary? Yes, ask Ahmad Black about that. Black intercepted two passes, returning one for a touchdown. The awesomely named Major Wright and Jacques Rickerson also picked off two passes. Wright returned his for a touchdown as well.

We'll be eager to see how the Gators fare against a real team.
