Tebow, No. 1 Florida beat Oklahoma for BCS title
MIAMI — Tim Tebow enjoyed the battering-ram runs. He liked the old-school jump pass.
Drawing a rare penalty, that really made Tebow’s day.
With No. 1 Florida about to finish off No. 2 Oklahoma 24-14 for the BCS championship Thursday night, Tebow was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
“I didn’t trash talk or say anything, but I did the Gator chomp,” he said. “I was pretty excited. Just gave it a little Gator chomp, and it was also for the fans.”
The rough-and-tumble style won’t satisfy fans of Utah, Southern California and Texas, who were all hoping to claim the top spot.
No matter to the Gators. They finished far ahead of the Utes in the final Associated Press poll Friday, receiving 48 of 65 first-place votes. Utah got 16 firsts and USC drew one.
“I’ll tell you, we’re going to enjoy a big win, we’re going to enjoy the national championship,” coach Urban Meyer said. “Let someone else worry about that. Gators are No. 1.”
