My first born son was born the day prior to this game, he came out with orange hair and blue eyes, His first day home was the day of this game. The next day I deployed with the Navy. This was certainly a special moment for me and my little gator tater.
Man I am an Ohio State fan. Got back from Iraq just in time for fir the game, and came home to a RUclips inbox full of hate mail from Gator fans. Due to a comment in which I congratulated Florida on their win that got them in. Pretty much the same before I left for afghanistan in 08. Commented on an LSU video that I thought Matt Flynn was much better than Ryan Peraloux. Instantly inbox filled with hate messages. I watched a lot of college football. Win some lose some. I don’t live and die or live vicariously through sports teams like a lot of people do. Just so funny how they all said Ohio Stare fans attacked them, but that’s not how it was entirely. Anyways happy you got to experience that before you deployed$
@@josh19852008 He commented 5 years ago.. He's never gonna see it. But anyways if you were really in the military then thank you for your service and Go Gators ;)
Soviet Re4per yes I was. To make it worse the company I was in our mascot was the gator....... you can imagine how that week was after the Buckeyes lost to Florida.
+sublime94 That's not targeting...what else is he supposed to do in a situation where the corner gets beat? NOT hit him? Back then there wasn't a rule against leading with your helmet. It's kind of his job to hit receivers....he's a fucking safety you moron.
+Leonardo Aldecocea Well, for one, he hit him before he even touched the ball. Pass interference. Two, he led with his helmet and hit the defenseless receiver in the neck. Targeting was a penalty then and it has been for many years, the only thing that changed in 2013 was that ejection from the game became mandatory, even if targeting was in question. It is his job to hit receivers, but its also his job as a human being not to kill other athletes because he couldn't make it to the scene on time for a proper defensive play. Stay classy, Gator fans. You can throw away those Hernandez jerseys now.
+sublime94 he hit him at the same time the ball got there. even in slow motion it was hard to see what came first. Either way refs didnt call it, because it was a clean normal football play. Jeeze ppl like you probably thought every hit Sean Taylor did was illegal also lol n for your information, I still proudly wear my Hernandez jersey. Classic
Great game by the Gators defense -- making the Sooners come up empty twice near the goal line, and blocking a field goal. Came here to watch Tebow and Harvin -- and it was fun to watch them do their thing again -- but the one thing I really noticed was how the D made things tough for Bradford & Co. all night long.
I worked at the Gator Shop across university ave and I got to watch this game on repeat for months. I never got tired of it. edit: it's weird seeing comments I made years ago on this video.
Just watching this makes you realize the importance of good Red Zone Defense. If Florida didn't have good red zone defenders Oklahoma would have likely won. Makes you appreciate that style of bending but not breaking.
Tim Tebow may of got ousted by the nfl but he sure has done a tremendous amount of Godly work since then, what's football compared to that. We Love You Tim & Demi.
You don't get to see it on here but what stood out the most was in the 4th. Bradford would keep looking over to the sideline like "Coach, what do we do?"
Not having Demarco Murray was painful for our run game. Great game Gators, I have a lot of respect for Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer as much as I hated them going into this game.
OU was the better team in this game, just like they were better than LSU a few years before. Some tough breaks. INT at the one right before halftime didn't help matters.
CB real, UF was the better team, as the gators didn't even play that great, yet the OU Sooners played the best game of their whole season against the National Champion Florida Gators. The Gators kept it close due to poor play. I was expecting a 50 point to 14 point blow out with UF playing its 2 and 3 rd stringers by half time.
@@johnjarjoura889 they got away with a lot of holding and PI. OU's best game of the year? They were scoring 38 points per game, back when the big 12 played great defense. OU also had a great defense that year. The teams were evenly matched, but OU had the better offense. Referrers were not gonna let a Big 12 team run up the score on the SEC. ESPN would have thrown a fit about it.
CB real, sounds like you still think OU was a better team, last time OU won a Natty was against FSU. Big Game Bob won two Natty's, one Natty with UF against FSU, one Natty with OU against FSU. This OU team could play this UF team 100 times in a row, might win 1 game. If anything, UF held back out of respect for Big Game Bob.
Tough one to watch again for sure. Stuffed one possession on the 1 yardline and intercepted one possession on the 1 yardline. Talk about a chance to put some distance between yourself and Florida. Brutal.
squarecracker I’m an OU fan but if you don’t think colt McCoy would’ve made a huge difference in that game then you didn’t watch any football in 2009/early 2010
Luke Jr. what game are you even talking about? We're talking about the 2009 SEC championship. Are you saying UF would have beat them if Colt Mccoy started?
My feelings exactly. Had PH returned, UF would have won another National Championship, Tebow would have won another Heisman, and both UF and Tebow would have gone down in history as the greatest team and player in NCAA history.
I have never seen a team underachieve like Oklahoma. to be honest if Miami played Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl in 2000. Bob Stoops would still be searching for his 1st national title.
+Allen Greene Don't think so with the first part of your argument. FSU had just as explosive O as Miami. OU had great defensive play as teams had learned to defend their Off. On the second part, of course that could've happened. Miami shouldn't have lost to a MOR team like Washington and this discussion would be fiction as they would have settles it on the field. As for the BCS tile game losses, only the one seemed like a mismatch. And early (unforced) erors put OU in a hole they could not get out of (2005, USC) and USC played fucking lights out. Games like that happen all the time. As for underachieving, I agree with you to a point. But you can't make it there as often being average. On a whole, they have both over and under achieved in seasons....but have been a consistently powerhouse program.
+Gregory Wilmoth Washington was very good in 2000 though. and yes Oklahoma is one of the most storied, successful Football programs of all time. although they should have more than just one national title under Stoops. 03 they were good but LSU was much more physical. 04 Southern California was just too much. they were one of the greatest teams off all time. regardless of the sanctions against them. but in 08, in the redzone like 5 times and had only 2 touchdowns?? that's awful.
+Gregory Wilmoth I mean Florida was a great but they weren't invincible. but to be honest it's bad for College Football when Oklahoma is not competing for national championships. also Texas. because the Big 12 was the best conference in the country at the time and didn't come away with one national title.
+Allen Greene UR right. OU had a chance to kinda open that first half up. I was highly disappointed. We all knew the LSU game would be a brawl, nad the pick 6 early in the 3rd on OUr own 10 was it...made a big difference. OU actually strating control of that game late 3rd and into the 4th and just ran out of time. I WILL SAY....all teams involved in 2003 and 2008 were very evenly matched and I hate when idiots claim that LSU and Fla "dominated" OU. Not the two games I watched.
Gregory Wilmoth Nope they weren't blowouts. Just like the next year with Alabama and Texas. Texas was still in the game but Alabama just wore Texas out in the 4th quarter.
Bob stoops used to criticize the sec talking about the sec's defenses wasn't as good top to bottom. That's funny coming from a head coach who coaches in a conference that doesn't play defense then his team goes and losses to Clemson 40 to 6. That game was over with at halftime when it was 40 to 0.
+brandon reese But We smacked the dog shit outta Tennessee this year and raped Alabama in the cotton bowl two years ago. Not to mention, the bottom tear teams from teh BIG XII in A&M and Missouri are beating the shit outta SEC teams as we speak. Let's go offa statistics instead of assessments made by Kirk Herbstreit
+brandon reese Score was 27-0 at half. And if you think for a moment OU played their best game, you are as delusional as your fellow fans down there in DIXIE or whatever you call the capital of racism.......you come on here to make insults with false accounts of a game I doubt you even watched. If you're going to talk smack, stay accurate and research before you post
+Hutchersize Here's a stat. A&M went 4-4 in conference play this year and lost to a horrible Auburn team, while Missouri went 1-7 in an incredibly weak East division. Yeah, both teams are really tearing it up. It's also funny how you leave out OU getting blasted by A&M 41-13 the last time they met.
2008 team was better then the 2009 team mainly cuz of percy Harvin. He was just that good If he would of returned his senior year I think we would of had a better shot at beating bama again. His absence was the difference in the 2009 SEC Championship Percy would of carried that offense just like he did against OU and would of helped tebow make more big plays.
@@deancarr4507 I disagree. Percy harvin was a much better runner and player then both demps and rainey. Please do not compare demps and rainey to the great percy harvin! Sure dan mullen was the master mind for the offense but so was percy! Oh and even dan mullen said before that percy was a difference maker on the offense! In my opinion if percy would have came back his senior year against bama we would have won and not being smoked 32 to 13. Imagine if dan Mullen came back in 09 and percy coming back that would have been awesome. But I think losing percy hurt the offense the most and to be honest without percy I dont think we would have beat Oklahoma.
I think after watching this game (and this replay again) it’s pretty obvious UT (the team who should have actually played Florida) would have had a really good chance at beating Florida. UT beat OU by 10. Florida beat OU by 10. Would have been great. But man that UT team was built to stop a team just like Florida. Brian Orakpo on one end. Sergio Kindle at the other. #6 in the nation against the run. Guys like Earl Thomas and Aaron Williams on the back end. A top 20 rushing offense that could have kept Tebow off the field. What a shame. And then the next year Texas was all over Bama but Colt goes down on the 1st series. Texas intercepted a fake punt called by Bama. Recovered a muffed kickoff. Had sacked Bamas QB 3 or 4 times early. The defense was so hyped. Texas led 6-0 at the end of the 1st until The defense just couldn’t hold anymore Bc Garrett Gilbert couldn’t get a first down. What bad luck. Man that was rough for Colt McCoy and Mack Brown. It sounds like a homer comment but honestly Texas could have easily won back to back titles.
lithium x You obviously didn’t follow Texas. They were stacked. And if you read that comment above you would understand that UT defense was built to stop the run and that type of offense. He makes great points. And Texas had a great offense too. A lot of speed like Florida. They had their own Harvin in Marquise Goodwin. And Colt should have won the Heisman that year. Bradford put up insane stats but McCoy was clearly more important to his team.
I mY get it wrong but I doubt it. The sooners got it F up!!! The sooners got the game from UF. B began his start from UF and the Blueprint started in his eyes!!! We are the SEC
Well that's ok! He made history, won a Hiesman Trophy, had statues made of him at Florida, Played in the NFL, Played pro baseball, is a business owner,,,,,,,,,what have you done?
You average 54 points a game. Leapfrog the team that beat you. Score 60 in 5 straight games. And you play slow-it-down football and score 7 points going into the 4th quarter! Wow, Bob Stoops totally sucks! If the BCS was not the BS.S then he would have no titles (beating the decimated Seminoles in 2001 when the Hurricanes would have brought the woopin', and Santana Moss would have his national title)
Why does it say Florida Oklahoma? Didn’t Texas have the same record as OU and win the head to head matchup? This is a mistake. It should be say Florida Texas. Oh, wait....
He had the most first place votes in 2008 also…he just didn’t get enough overall votes. That’s why he didn’t win it twice I guess. If harvin came back in 2009, Tebow gets another heisman
Before I say anything, keep in mind that I am a sooner fan. We have 17 national championship appearances, 7 national championships, 44 conference championships, 154 All American athletes, 7 Hall-of-Fame Athletes, and 5 Heisman Trophy winners in our over 100 year history. That's our history. We've always been a powerhouse football program. But, I agree with a lot of people saying this. Oklahoma IS NOT a #1 team. That's just how we go by. We kick the shit out of everyone as long as we don't develop the mindset "I'm going to beat you because we're number one in the nation". But rather "I'm going to beat you because we're a kickass football program and we beat teams way better than yours". What seems to be the case for Oklahoma is that when they drop into the number one spot, they get cocky. They have a reason to believe that their number one spot means that they will beat everyone, which bites them in the ass. Even if OU attempted to remove of that attitude towards the game, it would still show back up somehow, and it would most likely fall over for them. Right now, I'm happy with our standings. Top 20 is good with me for now. And eventually, we'll be back on track.
+Dagz OG Difference between BCS and CFP is that it doesnt matter who's #1 in the CFP all that matters is who are the 4 teams in the Playoffs. Seeds=Semi-Final Matchups? Okay I understand that case but still its all about the Championship in the Playoffs whereas in the BCS for a season like 2008 the question was who will be #1 and #2 and piggy banking off of your comment I believe Florida was motivated being #2 after beating Alabama in the SEC Title game and that there was some effect feeling from both sides. Im an Alabama fan so you know that I know that very well that the CFP top rankings dont matter as much as the BCS, but good luck on your Sooners this season and hopefully they and the Tide play in Miami/Arlington on NYE or in Glendale on 1/11.
Looking back at this, I think while Oklahoma didn't play their caliber of football, Clemson came out as the better team. Now for offseason to kick in for most teams, players to heal and get healthy, and get ready for the next season.
+Dagz OG OU played their caliber of football. It's just that talent at OU has fallen off quite a bit over the last several years. Clemson's lines just beat the shit out of OU's. OU's WRs looked mediocre against Clemson's DBs. Clemson's personnel is just better right now. OU, you have to admit, got overrated by playing the other 3 best Big 12 teams without their starting QBs. If OU had faced Russell or Boykin, they wouldn't have been in the playoffs to begin with.
Like I said originally. Worst CHAMPIONSHIP program ever. That's like bragging about the Bills going to 4 straight Super Bowls. They still blew them all. So yeah, enjoy your NC *appearances*.
+marktastic86 Ok as opposed to a team that only gets to a title game once in a blue moon but wins the title when the opportunity presents itself? Fine. Still you won't admit it but you know you would take getting to the title game all the time vs never getting to go win or lose. Most sane people would. Worst championship team? Isn't that an oxymoron? I'm not sure that even makes sense. Lol.
1 out of 4. That means 75% of the time, you blow it. I'd rather not see my team get there at all than lose like that on the biggest stage possible so many times. And no, it's not an oxymoron at all. You can crow over being the first place losers if you like. Own it!
Bring oklahoma, oklahoma state Texas and Baylor to the sec and let's see what they do in their first year. Put oklahoma and oklahoma state in the east and texas and Baylor in the west
Many OU fans including myself are screaming to make this happen. OU would only be 2nd to Bama in terms of tradition in the hyped SEC. Playing in the SEC would only increase OU's chances of landing those prized recruits that buy into the SEC hype and would more than likely become an immediate threat to dominate the SEC on par with Bama. To think otherwise would be foolish imo.
I know for a fact both Texas and Baylor would give the so called mighty SEC a go for it's money..there's no way those SEC teams would match speed and power with Baylor or Texas..and the overall advantage that we have in the Big 12 is that we can play in cold weather..lets see how the SEC would match playing in -degree weather in the Big 12..
Speed and Power? Are you kidding me? That's all the SEC is, speed and power and defense. Oklahoma scored 60 points on average per game until they played a team with a real defense. Ohio State did the same thing in the 2006-2007 season when Florida beat them 41 to 14 in the national championship game. Ohio State was averaging 45 points per game. Texas would be mediocre at best in the SEC and Baylor would'n stand a chance playing against real defenses.
The best option is to avoid reacting to marktastic86. He uses poor logic and not very well thought out rhetoric. Dude seems like an anti-social narcissist with a stunted knowledge of college FB. Kinda pitiful, actually.
+Gregory Wilmoth Whatever makes you feel better. As it stands today, Oklahoma has dropped yet another game on the big stage vs Clemson, while Alabama are national champions once again. Yet another case of OU coming up short when it matters, and helping to prove my original point. Another OU fan/commenter, Dagz, recognizes your team's rich history while also admitting that they almost always blow it when it comes to title games. Not sure why you refuse to do the same. Kind of pitiful, actually.
Ur Momma No denying that. It's just funny how OU plays their best games when there's no title implications on the line. Choking when it matters - an Oklahoma tradition!
marktastic86 It's funny how Alabama gives up when games they are predicted to win, they lose. I guess Saban has a sign up on his wall when it's not the championships, it says "when the going gets tough? Quit." An Alabama tradition since 2008 sugar bowl. XD
Ur Momma But Bama is favored to win every game they play going back to 2008. Nothing you say can change the fact they've won 4 titles in a 7 year span, and Oklahoma lost 3 out of their 4 when presented with the chance to do the same. Now you can add getting dropkicked out of the first round of the playoffs to that list of blowing it when there's something real to play for.
The highlight everyone loves to show of Manny Johnson getting leveled down the sideline early in the game is clearly pass interference. The ball hits the defender in the back of the jersey because he is already crushing the receiver. Clearly pass interference. Drives me nuts watching that highlight all the time and all you hear is how big a hit it was.
Nope, you're wrong. Freeze frame it, it hits the receiver in the right hand before it touches Wright. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was called, but I'm also not surprised that it wasn't. Remember, there was much more of a tolerance for hits like this back then.

Was there any more proof that Tebow should have won 2 Heismans?
Harambe 2010 sugar bowl is THE prime example, 31/35 a bcs record 482 yards, and 4 total tds

It isn't strange considering he murdered OU and many others prior to killing humans.

subotica I tell people this all time
Second best. 01 Miami
QB is the most important position in football. That 2008 UF team had both Tim Tebow and Cam Newton. Miami had... Ken Dorsey.
Hmmm ..it's up there

Our D was superb this year. Our O gets a lot of the credit, and for good reason, but our D was lights out.
Our team all around was just talented. One of the best Gators teams in history.

+Hutchersize You smacked the dog shit outta TN? Did you watch that game? It went to 2OT, you moron.
+Hutchersize Here's a stat. A&M went 4-4 in conference play this year and lost to a horrible Auburn team, while Missouri went 1-7 in an incredibly weak East division. Yeah, both teams are really tearing it up. It's also funny how you leave out OU getting blasted by A&M 41-13 the last time they met.
So Gregory any way it goes it was a beat down.
Tim tebow is the goat hands down.🙌🏻
Too bad he left my team and nobody wants him anymore
DARKONE Plays he's crushing baseball's now, and is soon to be called up to the New York Mets
yea they want to promote a cheating Tom Brady and his dirty owner
i cant believe malcolm kelly didnt stay another year & murray was hurt for yet another bowl game
What was the betting line for this game?
It was UF by 10.
1:40 Major Wright dominated that guy.
Seeing the kind of offense Florida was running made me kinda sad but that's by today's standards of course.
That offense is coming back with mullens
Florida had a USC running back moody who transferred because USC was already stacked with 6 - 5 star wide receivers
Moody was good but he was no Percy Harvin.
Bummer sooner😂😂
2008 team was better then the 2009 team mainly cuz of percy Harvin. He was just that good If he would of returned his senior year I think we would of had a better shot at beating bama again. His absence was the difference in the 2009 SEC Championship Percy would of carried that offense just like he did against OU and would of helped tebow make more big plays.
Dan Mullen was a bigger loss. Watch some 09 games and see how often Adazzio tried to run Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps up the middle
@@deancarr4507 I disagree. Percy harvin was a much better runner and player then both demps and rainey. Please do not compare demps and rainey to the great percy harvin! Sure dan mullen was the master mind for the offense but so was percy! Oh and even dan mullen said before that percy was a difference maker on the offense! In my opinion if percy would have came back his senior year against bama we would have won and not being smoked 32 to 13. Imagine if dan Mullen came back in 09 and percy coming back that would have been awesome. But I think losing percy hurt the offense the most and to be honest without percy I dont think we would have beat Oklahoma.
Carlos Dunlap too
I think after watching this game (and this replay again) it’s pretty obvious UT (the team who should have actually played Florida) would have had a really good chance at beating Florida. UT beat OU by 10. Florida beat OU by 10. Would have been great. But man that UT team was built to stop a team just like Florida. Brian Orakpo on one end. Sergio Kindle at the other. #6 in the nation against the run. Guys like Earl Thomas and Aaron Williams on the back end. A top 20 rushing offense that could have kept Tebow off the field. What a shame. And then the next year Texas was all over Bama but Colt goes down on the 1st series. Texas intercepted a fake punt called by Bama. Recovered a muffed kickoff. Had sacked Bamas QB 3 or 4 times early. The defense was so hyped. Texas led 6-0 at the end of the 1st until The defense just couldn’t hold anymore Bc Garrett Gilbert couldn’t get a first down. What bad luck. Man that was rough for Colt McCoy and Mack Brown. It sounds like a homer comment but honestly Texas could have easily won back to back titles.
Alabama was destined to win.
Nah. Tebow and Percy were monsters that year. Texas had their chance in 2009.
lithium x You obviously didn’t follow Texas. They were stacked. And if you read that comment above you would understand that UT defense was built to stop the run and that type of offense. He makes great points. And Texas had a great offense too. A lot of speed like Florida. They had their own Harvin in Marquise Goodwin. And Colt should have won the Heisman that year. Bradford put up insane stats but McCoy was clearly more important to his team.
USC would have beaten any of these teams in the title game
No music for once. Thank god.
I was at that game! It was awesome!
11:00 the game's biggest moment
BCS ruled!!!!
Urban MAY be the greatest college coach of all times.
Bowling Green
Utah
Florida
Ohio state
Think about it.
and Tebow isn't on a NFL team smh
@Ivan Drago Brady was changing the ball pressure in the playoffs against Teabow noone knew Brady and owner are the GOATS of cheating
I mY get it wrong but I doubt it. The sooners got it F up!!! The sooners got the game from UF. B began his start from UF and the Blueprint started in his eyes!!! We are the SEC
really wanted this one it wouldve been are 8.
Sooners chocked this game away.
Or maybe babyface Bradford threw 4 picks.
Yep
The only thing that would have made this game better is if the Boz had been playing.
Ditto!
Tebow running game was good but his passing game was alright,not much 10 and more yard through
Well that's ok! He made history, won a Hiesman Trophy, had statues made of him at Florida, Played in the NFL, Played pro baseball, is a business owner,,,,,,,,,what have you done?
You average 54 points a game. Leapfrog the team that beat you. Score 60 in 5 straight games. And you play slow-it-down football and score 7 points going into the 4th quarter!
Wow, Bob Stoops totally sucks!
If the BCS was not the BS.S then he would have no titles (beating the decimated Seminoles in 2001 when the Hurricanes would have brought the woopin', and Santana Moss would have his national title)
At least he beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, but I agree.
+Johnathan Doe The Sooners weren't used to facing a defense like Florida's.
The same Texas team that squeaked it out over #10 Ohio State? Nope. That Florida team was stacked.
@@leonardilifter a defense that gets away with pass interference and holding on every play.
@12BJJohnson nope, no way.
Why does it say Florida Oklahoma? Didn’t Texas have the same record as OU and win the head to head matchup? This is a mistake. It should be say Florida Texas. Oh, wait....
45-35. Never forget!
6:02 goddamn
this was 80% Tebow - he should have won the heisman
He had the most first place votes in 2008 also…he just didn’t get enough overall votes. That’s why he didn’t win it twice I guess. If harvin came back in 2009, Tebow gets another heisman
Hold on, Florida was #2 going into the SEC Championship, and they beat #1 Alabama. How'd Oklahoma get to #1?
@@RadicallyOptimistic texas who did not win a tiebreaker with OU for the Big 12 south division spot also help
powder puff conference and again they hated to succumb to Tim Teabow preaching peace band goodwill to men
Dan Mullen';s last game before he left now that he is back watch out i will be at the opener
Ou needed D murray
Before I say anything, keep in mind that I am a sooner fan. We have 17 national championship appearances, 7 national championships, 44 conference championships, 154 All American athletes, 7 Hall-of-Fame Athletes, and 5 Heisman Trophy winners in our over 100 year history. That's our history. We've always been a powerhouse football program. But, I agree with a lot of people saying this. Oklahoma IS NOT a #1 team. That's just how we go by. We kick the shit out of everyone as long as we don't develop the mindset "I'm going to beat you because we're number one in the nation". But rather "I'm going to beat you because we're a kickass football program and we beat teams way better than yours". What seems to be the case for Oklahoma is that when they drop into the number one spot, they get cocky. They have a reason to believe that their number one spot means that they will beat everyone, which bites them in the ass. Even if OU attempted to remove of that attitude towards the game, it would still show back up somehow, and it would most likely fall over for them. Right now, I'm happy with our standings. Top 20 is good with me for now. And eventually, we'll be back on track.
+Dagz OG Difference between BCS and CFP is that it doesnt matter who's #1 in the CFP all that matters is who are the 4 teams in the Playoffs. Seeds=Semi-Final Matchups? Okay I understand that case but still its all about the Championship in the Playoffs whereas in the BCS for a season like 2008 the question was who will be #1 and #2 and piggy banking off of your comment I believe Florida was motivated being #2 after beating Alabama in the SEC Title game and that there was some effect feeling from both sides. Im an Alabama fan so you know that I know that very well that the CFP top rankings dont matter as much as the BCS, but good luck on your Sooners this season and hopefully they and the Tide play in Miami/Arlington on NYE or in Glendale on 1/11.
OU plays Clemson in Dallas on New Years Eve.
Looking back at this, I think while Oklahoma didn't play their caliber of football, Clemson came out as the better team. Now for offseason to kick in for most teams, players to heal and get healthy, and get ready for the next season.
+Dagz OG OU played their caliber of football. It's just that talent at OU has fallen off quite a bit over the last several years. Clemson's lines just beat the shit out of OU's. OU's WRs looked mediocre against Clemson's DBs. Clemson's personnel is just better right now. OU, you have to admit, got overrated by playing the other 3 best Big 12 teams without their starting QBs. If OU had faced Russell or Boykin, they wouldn't have been in the playoffs to begin with.
Go Gators
No Comments
That hit on #1 at around 1:40 is EXTREMELY illegal now. And for good reason..m
Major Wright Layed His Ass Out!
Hardest hit I've seen in CFP by far.
the game was better when it was legal
It's not "extremely illegal" and hits like that are what make football entertaining.
UNLEASH TIM TEBOW!!!!!
11:17 tells the whole story haha
GO GATORS......4eva
Man Hernandez only got once shot to catch a ball, I guess that’s all he needed tho
Texas should of been in this game.
Is there really a worse championship program than Oklahoma? 4 BCS CC appearances and only one win. GARBAGE.
Yep! Complete garbage. What kind of a terrible team makes it to 4 national championship games?
We all know what kind of team makes it there and blows it.
Like I said originally. Worst CHAMPIONSHIP program ever. That's like bragging about the Bills going to 4 straight Super Bowls. They still blew them all. So yeah, enjoy your NC *appearances*.
+marktastic86 Ok as opposed to a team that only gets to a title game once in a blue moon but wins the title when the opportunity presents itself? Fine. Still you won't admit it but you know you would take getting to the title game all the time vs never getting to go win or lose. Most sane people would. Worst championship team? Isn't that an oxymoron? I'm not sure that even makes sense. Lol.
1 out of 4. That means 75% of the time, you blow it. I'd rather not see my team get there at all than lose like that on the biggest stage possible so many times. And no, it's not an oxymoron at all. You can crow over being the first place losers if you like. Own it!
Sure sucked not having Demarco Murray in this one
That was penalty by Major Wright no denying that
Bring oklahoma, oklahoma state Texas and Baylor to the sec and let's see what they do in their first year. Put oklahoma and oklahoma state in the east and texas and Baylor in the west
Many OU fans including myself are screaming to make this happen. OU would only be 2nd to Bama in terms of tradition in the hyped SEC. Playing in the SEC would only increase OU's chances of landing those prized recruits that buy into the SEC hype and would more than likely become an immediate threat to dominate the SEC on par with Bama. To think otherwise would be foolish imo.
Jeremy I actually think that oklahoma would do good in the sec as well as oklahoma state Texas and Baylor.
I know for a fact both Texas and Baylor would give the so called mighty SEC a go for it's money..there's no way those SEC teams would match speed and power with Baylor or Texas..and the overall advantage that we have in the Big 12 is that we can play in cold weather..lets see how the SEC would match playing in -degree weather in the Big 12..
They should put Miami in sec east and FSU in west.
Speed and Power? Are you kidding me? That's all the SEC is, speed and power and defense. Oklahoma scored 60 points on average per game until they played a team with a real defense. Ohio State did the same thing in the 2006-2007 season when Florida beat them 41 to 14 in the national championship game. Ohio State was averaging 45 points per game. Texas would be mediocre at best in the SEC and Baylor would'n stand a chance playing against real defenses.
Imagine having all that talent on that Florida team and nearly losing to Bradford and Jermaine Gresham.😂😂
Shadow 3250 is this your effort at a troll? Because it’s a pretty awful one if it is. I refuse to believe someone can be this dumb.
no shyte music in a highlight video...a looming trend i hope
Iglesias blew the fuckin game an Kevin Wilson with those bs runs in 1st have the ball should have went to Gresham
ygf
The best option is to avoid reacting to marktastic86. He uses poor logic and not very well thought out rhetoric. Dude seems like an anti-social narcissist with a stunted knowledge of college FB. Kinda pitiful, actually.
+Gregory Wilmoth Whatever makes you feel better. As it stands today, Oklahoma has dropped yet another game on the big stage vs Clemson, while Alabama are national champions once again. Yet another case of OU coming up short when it matters, and helping to prove my original point. Another OU fan/commenter, Dagz, recognizes your team's rich history while also admitting that they almost always blow it when it comes to title games. Not sure why you refuse to do the same. Kind of pitiful, actually.
+marktastic86 - Your team got their ass beat by OU in the Sugar Bowl. Watch your mouth next time.
Ur Momma No denying that. It's just funny how OU plays their best games when there's no title implications on the line. Choking when it matters - an Oklahoma tradition!
marktastic86 It's funny how Alabama gives up when games they are predicted to win, they lose. I guess Saban has a sign up on his wall when it's not the championships, it says "when the going gets tough? Quit."
An Alabama tradition since 2008 sugar bowl. XD
Ur Momma But Bama is favored to win every game they play going back to 2008. Nothing you say can change the fact they've won 4 titles in a 7 year span, and Oklahoma lost 3 out of their 4 when presented with the chance to do the same. Now you can add getting dropkicked out of the first round of the playoffs to that list of blowing it when there's something real to play for.
The highlight everyone loves to show of Manny Johnson getting leveled down the sideline early in the game is clearly pass interference. The ball hits the defender in the back of the jersey because he is already crushing the receiver. Clearly pass interference. Drives me nuts watching that highlight all the time and all you hear is how big a hit it was.
Nope, you're wrong. Freeze frame it, it hits the receiver in the right hand before it touches Wright. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was called, but I'm also not surprised that it wasn't. Remember, there was much more of a tolerance for hits like this back then.
