Sports: Superman? Super Team

It's understandable that the focus of reporters would be on Tim Tebow after the Florida Gators' 24-14 win over Oklahoma last night in the BCS National Championship. After a shaky first half (2 interceptions and only 1 TD pass), Tebow led some masterful drives in the third and fourth quarters to help put the game away, doing it with everything from 20 yard bullet passes to up-the-gut 12 and 15 yard runs. The passion, the leadership - it electrified the crowd, and electrified the media afterwards.

Ultimately, though, the bright hot spotlight on Tebow (he garnered nearly all questions in the postgame conference, while defensive MVP Carlos Dunlap sat quiet) rightfully belongs to the whole team. As a team, the Gators held together while Oklahoma seemed to collapse down the stretch. The Gator defense in particular had a couple of spectacular stops in goal-line situations to keep Florida close at halftime. The offensive line in the second half started pushing the Sooners around a bit, creating huge creases and holes for Tebow and star wideout Percy Harvin to run through. The Tebow & Harvin show from 2007 is officially gone now - replaced by champions on both sides of the ball.
