The 1967 season saw sophomore Jackie Eckdahl and junior Larry Rentz as starters. Senior Harmon Wages also played QB for the 1967 Gators.
When Tim Tebow set the single game rushing yards record for a Florida QB in 2007, it was Rentz record that he broke. Rentz ran for 109 yards in 1967 in a 35-0 win over Tulane. The Tulane game was the first start for Rentz as Eckdahl had started the first three games of the season and lost the starting job after a 37-6 loss to LSU.
Rentz completed 80 of 140 passes in 1967 for 1031 yards, 3 TDs, and 9 INTs.
