LSU defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois clarified his comment about Florida quarterback Tim Tebow in a news release from the athletic department.
The following are Jean-Francois’ comments:”We never go into any football game trying to hurt a player from the other team. My comments in regard to Florida quarterback Tim Tebow were misinterpreted and were intended to reflect the style of football that we play at LSU. We have great respect for Tim as player and a competitor. By taking him out of the game, I meant as a defense we are going to try to make him ineffective. I’m sorry that my initial comments were interpreted another way.”
