Alabama Extends Championship Streak by Beating Gators

Not exactly an expected outcome in tonight's SEC Championship game, but Alabama wore down the Florida Gators and blew them out of the water with a 32-13 win over the defending national champions.

Alabama has won an SEC title in every decade since the inception of the conference.

In what was billed as a Heisman showdown, it was Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy who stole the show. McElroy started the game flawlessly and ended it in similar fashion, finishing 12-of-18 passing for 239 yards and a touchdown. But the Texas native hit open receivers and made spectacular reads the entire night against the top-ranked Gators' defense.

Tailback Mark Ingram put up great numbers, too, to help out his quarterback in the championship affair. He rushed 28 times for 113 yards and three scores—including his second which he set up himself on a screen pass with a 69-yard reception.

Tim Tebow will have one more game as a Gator, the Sugar Bowl, but for the first time in his career, Tebow failed in the big game.

He finished 20-of-35 for 246 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw the game-clinching interception to Javier Arenas. Tebow led the Gators in rushing as well with 63 yards on 10 carries.

Alabama will now head to the BCS National Championship game to face off against the No. 2-ranked BCS team, Texas, as the Longhorns won the Big 12 title with a dramatic 13-12 win over Nebraska.

The Crimson Tide will now sing their fight song and will definitely, "Remember the Rose Bowl, we'll win then."
