Christ Is Lord over GatorNation!
GATORS NATIONAL CHAMPS !!!
Florida 24, Oklahoma 14
MIAMI (AP)—The game defied expectations. Tim Tebow fulfilled them.
He rescued No. 1 Florida, running through and throwing over No. 2 Oklahoma for a 24-14 victory Thursday night that gave the Gators their second BCS championship in three years.It was hardly a high-wattage matchup of Heisman winners—more a sloppy, choppy affair that the rough-and-tumble Tebow took over at the end.
The style won’t satisfy fans of Utah, Southern California and Texas, who all want to claim the top spot.
No matter to the Gators. They finished far ahead of the Utes in the final Associated Press poll Friday, receiving 48 of 65 first-place votes.
“I’ll tell you, we’re going to enjoy a big win, we’re going to enjoy the national championship,” coach Urban Meyer said. “Let someone else worry about that. Gators are No. 1.”
The Associated Press will release its final poll early Friday morning.Beaten out for the Heisman this season by Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford, Tebow outplayed him and was picked the game’s most outstanding player.
“I wanted to do whatever I could to help my team win this game, and if I was trying to run and run some people over, to get the crowd into it, to get the momentum, then that was what I was going to try to do,” Tebow said.
“They were doing a good job of getting to me and trying to get some licks, but I felt my body was able to withstand it,” he said.Percy Harvin ran wild and Florida made two goal line stands against the highest-scoring team in modern history.
“Tebow, just call him Superman,” Harvin said.
