Percy Harvin & Florida Defense Dominate; Lead Florida to National Championship

Maybe we arguing about the same thing who knows lol. Tebow threw some good passes. Yea he sure did. But you could throw an accurate pass here and there. Ive thrown a perfect ball down 40 yards in an intramural game but I know damn well I could play for Jacksonville University if I tried. Colt McCoy impressed me with that last drive against OSU. He told his slot to run a slant if given that look again and boom TD. Impressive. Bradford can go to the second maybe third if given a ton of time to throw.

I think we are arguing the same thing...but hey we like to debate, eh? You are strictly talking about Bradford's performance vs Tebow's. I think. Well, they were even, passing wise. Bradford had to deal with a better secondary. Tebow ran it for over 100 yards. //////////////////////////////Why do you jump on me about Tebow? Are we talking about who is the better college football player?, Tebow or Bradford? Or are we discussing their prospective NFL opportunities and abilities? I didn't say he was always an accurate passer, but clearly YOU are biased if you don't admit he threw SOME accurate passes in that game. Overall, my opinion of Tebow is he will have a short and uninspiring pro career. Not because of his abilities, but I think once he gets to the pros he won't have the same dedication he had in college. (Tebow Lovers don't read the rest)/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Why? Because he will find endeavors outside of the NFL that will interest him and drive him more. He'll see that in the cutthroat world of the NFL the toll these guys put on themselves to succeed is just something he won't match. He once told Danny Wuerffel when asked about pressure, 'Pressure? That's when you just got laid off and you need to feed a family, football has nothing to do with pressure.'//////////////////////////////////////One last note about NFL requirements on QB's Probably none of the QB's that have been mentioned in this thread can check down through progressions. After watching all of them, I think Graham Harrell is the closest to being pro ready.

except they murdered a team that was undefeated in the regular season that is in the SEC. Only lost to UF which beat Bama by a lesser margin and less convincingly. Yeah except for that.

that is your problem your shit is strictly on stats and not game time performance. Nowhere did i take away the play any florida D made. If you dont think that ball being kicked up like 4 times isnt luck then you obviously are delusional. That rarely happens. I dont blame BRADFORD for that INT. Nor do i blame BRADFORD for the play where black took it from Iglesias. I blame Iglesias!

Tebow is not an accurate passer, accept that he has some flaws. OMG TIM TEBOW HAS FLAWS EVERY TEBOW HOMER FLIP OUT!! THIS IS YOUR CUE!

He doesnt know how to progressionally read defenses(which you have to do in the pro level to be successful ask any Manning) You also have to throw it accurately downfield! at least with a little consistancy. Fact is Tebows picks were no one but TEBOWS fault and somehow people seem to forget that. Tim running the ball up the middle more than twice in a row in an NFL game would result in him getting stuffed and losing the game. If you would pick him as a QB for your NFL team then im happy im not a fan of your team cause you would waste a pick on him to be a QB.  I dont care if you research more than the announcers on gatorbait.com or whatever site is your favorite. You dont watch the god damn game If you even believe for a second he is an accurate passer. And if that is the case then I no longer have any respect for your research attempts. Its painfully obvious. Tebow has pure Quarterback flaws. I dont blame him for that either. I blame Urban Meyer for that but thats a different day of discussion.

What an ass...

He threw the best pass of the night: the 29 yard laser to Nelson. He also threw some of the worst passes of the night. I'm not arguing I'm just stating what everyone saw: Tebow at his best and his worst. Florida's D was the difference in the game and Tebow did his job. Don't sit there and make shit up when you watched one or two Florida gmmes all year, he threw bombs aplenty. By backlashing at the media for overhyping Tebow you've just conformed to all the other ignorant fans who say he sucks without actually watching his strengths and weaknesses. //////////////////////btw, if you are trying to compare National Champions Utah to Boise State...I have three letters for you : TCU....figure it out

Whoa Whoa whoa!!! Wait freakin minute...YOU CAN"T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! Either Bradford's great and that Florida D is out of this world (probably more the truth) or Bradford's overrated and Florida's D got lucky....It can only be one! It can only be one!!!! To take away from the unbelievable play of Wright, Black (who mad a spectacular effort on catching the ball after Iglesias bobbled it), Haden (who clearly forced the first INT), and Jenkins who kept everything in front of him all night with nary a missed tackle is just sour grapes. Why does everyone hate Tebow so much? Because the media shoves him down your throats? OK I get that..I almost never watch a game with the sound on because I've done more research and know more than 90% of the idiot talking heads. I suggest other smart sports fans do the same.///////////////////////////////////////// Will Bradford be a stud at the next level? maybe. Will Tebow have just as good a career if he wants too, probably. Maybe not at QB but the guy could play MLB in the pros if he wanted too. I don't even think he cares about pro football. //////////////////////////////Strictly on stats: Tebow threw the ball just as effectively as Bradford and obviously ran it more effectively: You want something non-statistical: Tebow produced more second half points and yards than Bradford. He won the game. Bradford had his opportunity and did not. Which brings us back to: if Bradford is so great (again I think he has just about ALL the tools) then how great is that Florida D, especially the back line?

Did anyone else see the new  Oklahoma U. toilet paper?/??     Each sheet is printed " Get used to it, Your #2!"
HAHAHAHa!!!!!!

wow did I dream or did the Gators win....??? and did their defense hold off Oklahoma on a goal line stand, an interception grabbed from the Oklahoma player's hands and didn't Percy Harvin get a lot of yardage?  Wow I must have been dreaming .. no that was Oklahoma fans dreaming that they won.

 The Utes, in my opinion, and this an area for just that, opinions, would  finish with no more 9 wins if  they would play in a major conference like the SEC, Big 12. You know, The BCS conferences where they got the two teams that played for the National Championship.  So maybe they need to petition to get into a different conference or  to get another or 2 added. Maybe next year you could ask them to play the Championship game in early December. That way they could all be home for Christmas with the trophy already under the tree.

Same rules huh? tell that to Utah homo. I guess Florida is allowed a Mulligan  to use on Ole Miss. It boggles my mind that you idiots choose to ignore the fact that there were 2 undefeated teams in the regular season ...both division 1, and not one of them were in the championship.

my point is the guy can not throw the ball more then 5 yards on a consistent basses  , how many wr screens does the guy throw ...I would say 80% of his passes all year were some from of wr screen or slant that his wrs took an extra 20 yards down field. No point in arguing with you clowns about Tehoe We will see soon enough when he gets to the NFL and ends up Playing H back.

Hilarious stuff!!!!   GATORS GO  out and win again. They play by the same rules the rest of the BCS schools, beat the team they had to in the National Championship game and now they aren't worthy??   Well if you want to see the trophy it will be in Gainesville.!!

What a sloppy game...

Ok you know that was a dumb comment. At least one of those INT's was not Bradfords fault and you could argue the second one too. If Iglesises didnt bobble the damn ball. Tebows  INT's were strictly his fault. 1st one safety read his eyes like a pop up book. An easy pick. Second INT: didnt even have to make an effort was right to him. I knew some doofus would try to compare Bradford and Tebow strictly on stats. Seriously Mark dont be that doofus. Bradford was clearly the better QB tonight. Florida won and they deserved it. except for the ref swallowing the whistles on several key pass interference calls. But besides that  Congrats UF.

Hey it was good game and it could have been either teams game to win.  Florida played a tough game and OU proved that they belonged there.  Even though they did not win, they played a great game against a great team.   Both teams deserve mad props for putting up such a great fight and not rolling over for the other team.

I am not much of a trash talker, never have been. 

Even when I get so pissed off that I could b-slap the crap out of the haters--I pretty much still hold my tongue. 

I have heard people say "well now we can stop hearing about how good the Big 12 is" or "how good OU is".

Please tell me where you hear this-because ever since OU beat OSU and Tech to clinch the Big 12 South THREE WAY TIE ( NOT TWO WAY TIE--A THREE WAY TIE!!)  and move into the #2 spot is how OU does not belong, OU does not stand a chance, Florida is going to blow OU out, so forth and so on.  I have heard this from fans in the real world, fans in the digital world, sports broadcasters, sports news writers and even one pompous a-hole from Duncan Oklahoma who claims to be a Big12 supporter--just not for OU.

Either way, I was born and breed to bleed CRIMSON and CREAM--and as long as their is air in my lungs and a beat in my heart I will do just that--BOOMER SOONER!

Congrats to Florida and their fans! Job well done, enjoy it and don't let anyone take the moment from you with their whining and complaining.  You earned it.

I am out...see you all later.

So if Tebow sucks (his numbers were identical to Bradford's ..uh except that he rushed for more than 100yrds!) How good is Florida's defense then?

Manny Johnson agrees with me: http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/01/08/bcs-national-championship-game-major-wright-nearly-decapitates/

Hells yeah. Although i prefer #1.

neither mayne i was watchin the game florida got lucky

Were you at work or  asleep?

Oklahoma still #1 even though they lost mayne

UTAH RANKED #2 IN AP POLL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH. 16 first place votes

45-35....

CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP

haha just kidding i don't care for any team. love watching superman play though, hope he comes back to college.

unless you take into consideration, if you will, Colt McCoy. he shattered the FBS completion percentage record at 76.5%. oh, not to mention the 579 rushing yards and 11 rushing TD's

 Yay Florida! I knew the Gators would do it this year! Let's GO GATORS!

Com'on coach, I know we could if we just run the pickett fence at 'em. Just give me a chance, I want the last shot!! Of jager that is, hehehe!!

Hey man, I've held my lip  for about a month now. Kept hearin' how OU is SO superior to UF. I can't bust on a few Big 12 goonies for awhile, I took the day off tomorrow just for this. Com'on PLEASE!!!

Dude!   Take some Ritalin....  get off the beanbag, wash the cheetos off your hands and go to bed.
Recess is right before nap time tommorrow!

Right, the Big 12  lady huddle leaders do buy tampons by the gross!!!

 still better than the best the Big dustbowl can offer!!!!

Congrats. Florida won. Team effort. Just think what they could have done if Brian Johnson was the QB!!!

Or on suicide watch because they cant handle the boooing fans

They wind up in prison for dogfighting.

Look, Tebow's a great college player. No one's debating that. But he just didn't deserve the Heisman this year. He did win the championship though, which i think he prefers. It's just illogical to argue that somehow Bradford had it much easier at Oklahoma with the weapons he has. Tebow has plenty as well. These aren't guys playing for Hobo State for God's sake.

Ya my bad I forgot all the Great Qbs who run and cant throw the ball in the NFL.....

Utah disapproves of this entire conversation.

I"m sorry YOUR RIGHT what was I thinking? He would only RUN ALL OVER the Big 2 or 1 or 3 or 6 or, hell  I forget how many losers are in that conference? When you girls are done talking about what pretty pumps your wearing to to the spring dance, you can come and tell me the story of how you lost ANOTHER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Still the effort for a team leader??? His rushing alone puts bradford behind him, you had to see that in the game tonight. I'm not saying Percy is a liability by any means. Hell He's a one man show for any other team.

WoW plz move to the right a little bit ...ok a bit more.... good now stay off Tebow's  D**k. Tebow is missing the most important ability for a QB.....the ability to throw the ball consistently more then 5 yards down the field. How many of those 200+ yards he had today came from YAC by his wr's? Harvin was player of the game hands down, and Tebag ....errrr Tehoe .....errr Tebow is not even close to being the best player in the college football, let alone best Qb. He did prove something tonight though....that he would in fact only be the 4th best QB in the big 12.

I'll tellwhat, if Antwain randle el from Indina  a few years back had the players to throw to that  Bradford & Tebow have had this year the record books would be closed for many more years as far as total season TDs anbd career TDs. That guy could ball for a team that had noone!!!!! 

Yeah I understand your point. Bradford had a great team and benefited from it on some level. Meanwhile Tebow has no talent around him at Florida and has to do everything himself. Percy Harvin? Yeah, what a talentless joke, except for the fact he should have won most outstanding player.

Hell  i could throw 30 TDs with that team!!!

Didn't Tebow win his teams bowl game last year? I think they vote to early for that award.

Bradford was clearly the better QB this season, just like Tebow was last year. Bradford absolutely deserved the Heisman this year.

NO bradford  just got beat by the better man!!!! No wait better men!

Saying Bradford didn't deserve the Heisman this year is like saying Tebow didn't deserve it last year.  In both cases, its flat out wrong.

But did Percy ever circumcise Philipian boys?  I think not.

I like to think that Bradford got an award he did not deserve!!!!! TIMMY is the best player in the country and he proved it again tonight!!!

Tim Tebow as most outstanding player? hahhahahahahahahahaha.

Seriously? what a damn joke. Just stupid beyond belief. It was Harvin by a million miles.

Taylor Mays has a problem with your logic.

I'd agree with that.  I used Sproles as a comparison just because they both are undersized. 

On top of that they are getting the #1 corner in the draft....errr out of high school. They must have a endless supply of hookers to through at recruits

I like that the author said that UF's defense in under-rated. I agree. I actually thought Oklahoma would punish them more. I knew that back four of Jenkins, Haden, Black, and Wright were very good. I didn't realize that Major Wright and Ahmad Black are both first day picks and Haden is probably a first rounder. Jenoris Jenkins will be the first defensive player in a long time to win a Heisman Trophy. They are the sickest defensive backfield I've ever seen at the college level. The front seven took their lumps but rose to the occasion when they had to. Great performance by the Gator "D"

So you're saying he has Pete Carroll disease? Oh wait, Carroll at least wins the BCS games he's in.

Harvin was insane ...would like to have that medical staff . As far as Florida goes enjoy your "championship" and be thankful for another season of a flawed system.

with you on that 100 %

I liken Harvin to a Ginn Jr. type player with better hands.  I think he could be a game changer in the NFL even if he only has 15 touches a game

The decisions Stoops made in the first half seemed predicated on OU being able to blow Florida out like they had been doing to most other teams all year. OU's record in bowls compared to their record in the regular season suggest that he's a great recruiter but not the sharpest coaching knife in the drawer.

He's a Darren Sproles type guy.  You get maximum value from him on a limited set of plays.  Use him too much, and eventually you get severely diminished returns.

Although if I was picking late in the 1st round I'd take him.  He's special in the open field.  The offensive coordinator is just going to need to find creative ways to get him in space.

I agree, but then you already knew that.

Harvin was pretty ridiculous tonight. Although, in all honesty, I would never draft this guy in a million years. He's going to get killed in the pros unless he bulks up.

Utah is still #1.
