Tonight Florida won it's second college football title in the past three years, giving the school its third title ever. According to BCS polls Florida was ranked #2 in the nation behind their opponent #1 Oklahoma, though I doubt they were the underdog in Vegas. Also, in a national ESPN poll Florida was voted as the likely winner.
Tim Tebow was the star of the show and player of the game. The guy threw for 231 yards and 2 touchdowns, along with 2 interceptions. He also carried the ball 22 times for 109 yards. Percy Harvin wasn't too shabby either running for 122 yards on a meager 9 carries and a supposedly questionable ankle. Harvin also caught 5 passes for 49 yards.
Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman winner Sam Bradford couldn't find his rhythm and threw 41 times for 26 completions. He did end up getting 256 yards and 2 touchdowns thanks to the performance of Juaquin Iglesias and Jermaine Gresham, who caught both of the touchdown passes.
Florida's running game just proved to be too much for Oklahoma to handle, gaining 249 yards on the ground. When you have two guys who can each rush for 100 yards in the same game, AND your quarterback throws for over 200 yards and two touchdowns, the only way you'll lose is if you beat yourself.
I was going to say this probably assures Tim Tebow a lot of success and money in the NFL, but I think I remember Eric Crouch being a similar player and he ended up being a where-are-they-now wide receiver for the Rams. Will the Heisman curse strike again?
