I must say that in my opinion, that game last night was just about as good as any National Championship game I have ever seen. Maybe USC - Texas was a little better but not much. While everyone including myself figured this to be one of the more high scoring N.C. games, it surprised us and was more of a defensive battle. Tebot is a monster and Bradford, well I personally think he will be a hell of an NFL Q.B.. His release reminds me of the films I've seen of the late "Slingin" Sammy Baugh. So quick.
I can't get over that Oklahoma offense. It's so fun to watch. Even though they lost the game, I think we all saw who had the better offense. They just couldn't convert when it mattered. By the way, that is no way disrespect to the Gators offense. They definitely held their own and won the game by scoring when it mattered. Matter of fact, I think I was just as impressed by their offense when I first saw it a few years ago.
On to the Gators defense and what a defense it is. While I think Oklahoma shot themselves in the foot several times by leaving at least 17 points on the field in the first half, you gotta credit the Gators D for stepping up their game in the red zone. Interception, turnover on downs, they flat out stepped up their game when their backs were against the perverbial wall. They also won the special teams battle and as any coach who knows his ass from his elbow will tell you, when you outplay the opposing team in those two areas, you'll win 99percent of the time.
Anyways, what a game. Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. Now bring on the NFL games this weekend. I need more football.
