Sooners' record offense stymied as Florida wins 2nd national title in 3 years

MIAMI - 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 early 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.”
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.
