Steve Spurrier is passing, Danny Wuerffel is getting ready to throw and Tim Tebow is, well, doing what he does best.

He's running with the ball.

Florida honored its three Heisman Trophy winners with life-sized statues outside the stadium. The Gators unveiled bronze statues of Spurrier (1966), Wuerffel (1996) and Tebow (2007) during halftime of Saturday's spring game. The thing that stood out was Tebow's depiction.

"That's fine," Tebow said. "You have to change it up. We can't all be throwing."

Tebow and Wuerffel were on hand for the unveiling. Spurrier thanked his alma mater in a videotaped message. He was in Columbia, S.C., for South Carolina's spring game. One of his daughters, Amy Moody, attended the ceremony in his place.

"It's kind of hard to put in words," Moody said. "It's not often in life people dedicate a statue to you. It means a great deal."

The statues, which weigh between 1,700 and 2,000 pounds, were placed on the west side of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium near the skybox entrance. They were paid for by private donations.

I was somewhat disappointed they didn't put up a statue of Urban Meyer spending time with his family on an ESPN set. Would that be too soon?
