BATON ROUGE, La., Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Tim Tebow, recovered from a concussion he suffered two weeks ago, went the route Saturday to help No. 1 Florida to a 13-3 win over No. 4 LSU.

Tebrow threw a pass to Riley Cooper for the game's only touchdown in a matchup that featured the teams that won college football's last three national championships.

Tebow had been hospitalized after taking a hit in a Sept. 26 game against Kentucky and was a game-time decision after last week's bye gave the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner enough time to rest.

The senior finished with 134 yards and an interception on 11-of-16 passes, and had 38 yards on the ground on 17 carries for Florida (5-0, 3-0 SEC). Jeffery Demps rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries for the Gators.

Florida held LSU to 162 total yards in its 15th straight victory. Jordan Jefferson finished with 96 yards on 11-of-17 completions for the Tigers (5-1, 3-1).
