Florida Gators' Tim Tebow a Maxwell Award finalist

Similar stories:

Five Florida players were named finalists Monday for national awards.

Quarterback Tim Tebow is in the running for the Maxwell Award (best all-around player) and Davey O'Brien Award (best quarterback), and linebacker Brandon Spikes is up for the Chuck Bednarik Award (best defensive player).

Cornerback Joe Haden, punter Chas Henry and tight end Aaron Hernandez are finalists for awards at their respective positions.

INJURY UPDATES

Coach Urban Meyer said his team is in good health, with several players overcoming injuries sustained against FIU last week.

Offensive linemen Carl Johnson (ankle) and Maurkice Pouncey (leg) will play against Florida State, Meyer said, and linebacker A.J. Jones (knee) and running back Emmanuel Moody (ankle) are doubtful.

Meyer said Moody is ``still hobbled'' after spraining his right ankle against South Carolina.
