BCS CHampionship Comments

Especially the way the oline has dominated them inside I would've gone for it too. Maybe that's why I'm on here instead of coaching in the game though. lol

OK has to be over the Big 12 limit on lining up in the I and running stretch on first and 2nd down. I thought it was a rule that they had to be a spread team and be creative. Oklahoma's WR are not helping them out much in the game.

Provided Tebow stays (Which everything leads me to believe he will), that team is going to be even better next year. I believe UF doesn't have a single senior on their defensive 2-deep and their offense will be STACKED at the skill positions, only losing 2 OL and 1 WR. Scary good.

Yeah who are these guys this is the BIG ONE and this is all they could get. Did they just draw names outta of hat.

If they line up and do it all over again I would bet that OU would actually win this game. I think Stoops is kicking himself for not lining up in the I and stuffing it down Floridas throat.

Unreal isn't it?

I dont want to harp on it either, and I'm absolutely certain that Tebow's an amazing kid, but the way the announcer was describing it, it was like he had gone in and Tebow had laid hands on him and asked him to repent his sins or something.

Anyway, I'm going to have some thoughts on my site in a bit. But, briefly, (a) I completely agree that going for it on 4th and 1 was the right call (play-call is another matter), (b) both of Bradford's INTs were in his receivers' hands before they were in Florida's, (c) I'd have to see it again, but I thought Tebow's veer and option reads were off in the first half -- seemed like OU was taking away the RB on both the veer and speed option plays and Tebow kept giving/pitching, but in the second half he kept it more and then when he did give it Harvin busted crazy, and (d) they ran a ton of that shovel triple play.

Through much of the game seemed like OU lacked offensive identity. The announcers got all into whether they were in fast or slow no-huddle, but I do think there is something to be said that when in their look-to-the-sidelines no-huddle they looked kinda timid. I mean, what keys were they learning from Florida anyway? I thought Florida was doing a good job disguising, in which case I thought they would have benefited from just getting up and going, much like they had this year.

I like the play by play guy, but I think they should have gotten the old Sunday Night Football guys, Paul McGuire, Joe Theisman, and I cant remember the other guy's name. I miss that group.

SEC defense > Big 12 offense
HS defense = Big 12 defense

But, the media and most fans are going to remember this year as the Big 12 having the 3 greatest qb's to ever stop on a football field (minus Tebow, of course lol).

I'm not referring to OU's defense last night, which was acceptable. But rather, I'm talking about the inflated numbers Harrell, McCoy, and Bradford put up this year. Give them an SEC schedule and I just don't see it happening.

That mistake was pretty annoying. When OU got stopped on 3rd and 1 I left the room to get a beer. Heard some people I had over's voices a few seconds later, and realized I'd missed 4th and 1.

Yes...Spend 5 minutes with Tebow and you'll loose weight, get a better job, find a hot girlfriend, and win a million dollars.

It was way over the top

OU played pretty good defense most of the night. Not many are talking about the shooting themselves in foot and missed opportunities to score. It was a game where Florida made a few more plays and put up points in key situations. OU needed to capitalize on their first half play and did not. Florida got better play from their skill players in the game I thought. OU WR's dropped balls and a few had the ball taken from them.

If you put those QB's in the SEC where would they rank? Which QBs in the SEC would be better? I am sure their numbers would be different in the SEC. It is a different style and approach to offense. Perspective by box scores is a difficult thing. If the Big 12 is so bad on Defense but OU held the best team in the nation to 24 points. Florida held OU to 14 points...proved that the SEC has great defense....Then Alabama (Former #1 team and 2nd best SEC team) gets lit up by Utah. Not playing great defense. It is hard to make out anything concrete from these games. We can all pick out games and stats that we want to make our argument. But someone can always come back with some evidence that goes in the direct opposite.

Truth be told I am a Kansas guy myself and am frustrated that Reesing always gets left out of the Big 12 talk....lol He has won more BCS games then any OU QB lately....

love Tebow and i'm a better person for studying his play on planetgator.com. lol.
didn't think he read the option very well esp in first half.Did anyone else think they were "reading the jet"?looked a little slower than usual like he was trying to read it but there so many commercials and so few replays i couldn't tell.

I think that OK's tempo really hurt them in this game. Their defense was playing great, at first, but in the end they were just on the field too much. I think if OK would have slowed down the tempo, ran the ball more, and controlled the clock, they would've come out on top. You can't let an option team have that many offensive possessions because sooner or later they're gonna break a few, and that was the game. Florida breaks a few plays, gains all the momentum, and the game's over.
