If Tim Tebow wins the Heisman Trophy, he will have plenty of hands to shake and people to thank.

High on that list should be a group of sure-handed receivers who made him look great all season and especially in Saturday night?s win over Florida State.

Percy Harvin, Cornelius Ingram, Louis Murphy and Andre Caldwell had at least four catches a piece as UF operated a balanced and effective passing attack.

Harvin also did some damage on the ground, rushing for a career-high 157 yards on 16 carries.

BCI played tremendous,C UF coach Urban Meyer said. BLouis Murphy is back to being Louis Murphy after a bad game against South Carolina. It just leaves you plenty of options, calling plays and discussing over the headsets. It?s all personnel-oriented.C

Ingram led the way with five catches for 75 yards in his second game back after recovering from a sprained ankle.

Murphy, a junior, caught four balls for 58 yards and two scores for the first two-touchdown game of his career.

BIt?s a big accomplishment for me,C said Murphy, who was an afterthought on the offense until a breaking out in spring practice. BI just come here, just want to play and get in where I fit in. The offense is built for playmakers. It so happened to be me who came out and make some big plays.C

Caldwell hauled in a 31-yard touchdown in his final game at The Swamp and made good on his promise to throw the ball into the stands in celebration.

BI had that planned all week,C he said.

Harvin had a quiet day receiving compared to everyone else with just five catches for 67 yards and no touchdowns.

But he more than made up for it with his rushing totals.

Sophomore wideout Jarred Fayson did not play at all in a surprising move and fellow sophomore Riley Cooper did not catch a pass as he is still limited by a broken finger.

As for Tebow, it turns out that he doesn?t deserve all the credit for UF's 45-point night.

BIt?s not the style of offense,C Meyer said. BIt?s all personnel, and we?ve got some pretty good personnel back there.C
