Tim Tebow took over for Florida and the top-ranked Gators grabbed a 14-7 lead over No. 2 Oklahoma after three quarters at the BCS national championship game Thursday night. With two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks and offenses that combined to average 99 points per game in the regular season, the Gators and Sooners were expected to trade scores most of the night at Dolphin Stadium.
But the defenses came up with most of the biggest plays in the first 30 minutes, and Tebow was the show in the third and forth quarter. Florida wins 24- 14.
If there was a football God, HE would sanction a Utes-Gators game for all the marbles.. (said the die-hard Minnesota Gophers fan.)
Then we'd find out which of the two programs Urban Meyer did a better job of building.
Tebow is like a Fullback that can run and pass...
Bradford is a pure passer...
Agreed. Bradford is a great QB, excellent arm, but last night Florida showed how lots of pressure can cause him to make mistakes. All throughout the season he had plenty of time to pass, never much pressure, so they racked up the high scoring. This game was different.
And Tebow as you said is one massive runner. He just plows over people. He also made some perfect throws just when they needed it.
Great game.
What? No mention of the John 3:16 on that glare stuff under his eyes? Maybe that’s on the Religion forum.
