The
2008 college football season will come to a close Thursday night with either the
Florida Gators (12-1) or the Oklahoma Sooners (12-1) being crowned national
champions as the two meet in the BCS title game at Dolphins Stadium.
Florida
has been led by 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow who put together another
sensational season in which he brought the Gators back from a potentially devastating loss to Ole Miss to
an SEC title and trip to the BCS national Championship game.
The
Gators have won nine straight, the last a 31-20 victory over the Alabama
Crimson Tide, to finish #2 in the BCS rankings and earn the trip to Miami. During that nine-game winning streak the Gators
have averaged 49.4 points per game and the 20 points allowed to Alabama were the
most the defense surrendered during that stretch. Florida currently has the third
best scoring offense in the nation but they’ll be facing the team with the best.
Oklahoma
averaged 54 points per game and have put together five straight games with 61
points or more on their way to the BCS #1 ranking. The Sooners bounced back
from their loss to the Texas Longhorns earlier this year to win their last seven
games including blowouts of Texas Tech and Oklahoma State and then Missouri in the
Big 12 title game.
Sam
Bradford, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner, has led the high-powered offense that
incorporates a pair of thousand yard rushers in Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray
along with thousand yard receiver Juaquin Iglesias and big-time tight end
Jermaine Gresham.
Thursday’s
matchup will be pitting the unstoppable force against the immovable object as the
Sooners offense faces a Gators defense that has allowed just 12.8 points per
game. While Oklahoma’s defense has gotten a bad rap their run defense is as
solid as the Gators, ranking just one spot below Florida.
Kickoff
for the FedEx BCS National Championship game is set for 8:00 p.m. ET.
