Tebow the prospect, part II

The Sooners' second (!) interception came on a great zone blitz where both tackles retreated after a half-second of trying to rush, linebackers came from the outside, and Tebow was trying to complete a crossing pattern across the middle. It was a really good call by Oklahoma because the zone blitz defending the short middle is a fantastic call against a short pass over the middle. They got lucky that was evidently the play call, but Tebow should have recognized the zone blitz and at least throw the ball away, and ideally throw it into the wider zones vacated by the blitzing linebackers.
