Florida Gators: BCS Title #2

Friday, January 9, 2009

John 3:16 was the scripture written on Tim Tebow's face as he stepped out on to the field at Dolphin Stadium last night. As #1 Florida Gators took on #2 Oklahoma Sooners, the SEC vs. Big 12, Defense vs. offence, Tim Tebow vs. Sam Braford for the BCS title.

This is Florida's second title in three years, the last one against Ohio State in 2007. Urban Meyer is only in his forth year leading the program and he has become the only coach to win two BCS championships. “It’s humbling,” Meyer said.
Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford stated "We felt like we had a chance, “When we needed to make plays, we just didn’t do it.”

Time Tebow's two touchdown passes and Percy Harvin's two-yard run led the Florida Gators to their second National Championship in three years. The Gators defeated the Oklahoma Sooners, 24-14, in front of a Dolphin Stadium record crowd of 78,468. "I promised the guys that I would go out and play with all my heart," Tebow said. "I was so motivated tonight. ... I'm so proud of my teammates right now. I can't put it into words. It was just an incredible night."

Florida is ranked #1 and Oklahoma is ranked #5 in the final AP Top 25 and USA Today Poll, released after the game.
Congrats to the Florida Gators. GO GATORS!!!!
