Florida Gators Win 2009 BCS National Championship

The Florida Gators defeated the Oklahoma Sooners, 24-14, to win their second National Championship in three years.

Led by their impressive quarterback, Tim Tebow, the Gators were able to ride out a nice victory.  Both quarterbacks in the game threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions, which were fairly average nights for the two Heisman Trophy winners.

Percy Harvin, the dynamic Florida Gators playmaker, was the leading rusher for the team.  He amassed 121 rushing yards on nine carries, adding a rushing touchdown. 

Jermaine Gresham, the standout Sooner tight end, was the game's leading receiver, amassing 62 receiving yards on eight catches, adding two touchdowns.

The game was not as clean-cut as one would have hoped.  Both teams struggled offensively through the first half of the game, which was a real surprise considering their offensive prowess over the course of the regular season. 

However, it will undoubtedly leave fans wondering if these teams were the absolute two best teams in all of college football.  The Utah Utes finished the season undefeated, so they will undoubtedly have a case.

All in all, it was an exciting watch and a great win for the Gator Nation.  After the game, Tebow would not announce if he planned on returning to Florida, but repeated his love for the Florida fan base.
