Everyone told you UF's Percy Harvin had an ankle sprain. Everyone said he'd be close to full speed for the championship game...even Harvin himself.
For the last six weeks, Harvin had been limited to nine plays per practice.
Then, in the championship game, Harvin rushed for 122 yards and added 49 more receiving, and scored on a 2-yard run in what Urban Meyer called "one of the guttiest performances I've ever been around."
All of it done with a hairline fracture in the ankle.

Before I get to the breakdown of the game there is one thing that is bothering me and it simply has to be addressed. I understand that Tim Tebow is a great college player, but whoever voted for him over Percy Harvin for offensive player of the game should have their ass kicked by Brock Lesner. If Harvin doesn't play effectively the Gators lose it is as simple as that. I understand Tebow is "God's Quarterback", but show some intelligence when handing out awards.
Now with that off of my chest let me talk about the game a bit. Once again everything I mentioned in my "5 Reasons" video came true:
1- SEC supremacy
They are undefeated in BCS championship games.
2- Defense
Oklahoma came in scoring about 700 points a game and was held to 14. A 4th down stand, an end of the half interception and a game changing 4th quarter interception sealed the game.
3- Heisman Curse
Sam Bradford played ok, but similar to other Heisman winners he struggled when it matter the most.
4- Tim Tebow
Shook off horrible early decision making that lead to two interceptions to lead his team on big drives to win the game.
A quick note...congratulations to the Florida Gators for winning the 2009 BCS National Championship game, 24-14 over Oklahoma.
Fox's Chris Myers asked quarterback Tim Tebow, the offensive player of the game, if he would return for his senior season at Florida, and Tebow did not exactly say yes. Most players of his caliber will consider it, but not always jump to the NFL. Will he stay?
