College Football: Gator Burn
Speed kills. It's an old football saw, but it still cuts right to the heart of the matter in sorting out the detritus of last night's BCS National Championship Game: faster is better.
From Ted Ginn's kickoff sprint for a touchdown to start the game, to Florida's hyperspatial defense, to Urban Meyer's pulse rate, this night was about speed. And when the final gun sounded to end the fourth quarter, Florida proved to be the fleetest and elitist team in the land, dropping the Ohio State University like MWF 8:00 a.m. French Lit, 41-14. And it wasn't that close.
Florida came in a seven-point underdog, and after Ginn did what he does on the opening touch, it looked like things were ready for the lighter fluid in Columbus. But in the touchdown celebration after his runback, Ginn turned his ankle. He left the game later in the first quarter and didn't play again the rest of the night. Wow. Either Karma is a freakin' bee-ahtch, or we smell a Neil O'Donnell-Larry Brown, suspicious circumstances, somebody ought to look into it, rat.
Bet this guy felt pretty stupid on the bus ride home. This outfit just doesn't quite work when your team loses, ain't that right Raider Nation? Photo from Fox Sports.com.
Cuz' it was all Florida after that. The Gatahs came right back and scored, and the track meet/rout was on. Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith was absolutely overwhelmed by the Florida defense, and he was not alone as Florida swamped the whole Buckeyes team. Let us lay this number on you: 82 total yards for OSU. Not total rushing yards, or even total passing yards for Smith. Total yards, all of them, el toto, 82.
And we finally learned what the hell a buckeye is: a deer in the headlights.
The U of Florida is riding high, high right now, becoming the only school in NCAA history to hold both the men's football and basketball titles at the same time. D'ya-yam! Watching the Florida students soaking it all in after it became obvious the game was theirs made us wonder if we could still do a beer bong of two warms beers in the parking lot after drinking Jaeger all day and then hit the bars for some real celebration. We envy those kids their joyous night of innocent binge drinking and wanton vandalism. Good times.
Anybody still think the BCS got it wrong? Nice showing Wolverines. That miserable performance in Pasadena ought to silence the yapping for a while. In fact, this bowl season once again exposed the Big 10 as the fraud that it is and has been for decades. Another stat for you: OSU is 0-8 all-time versus the SEC in bowl games. As a conference, the Big 10 can't compete with the team speed and athleticism of SEC teams. Period.
Michigan had their shot at the national title in November and USC did themselves with a careless late-season nap. Both Ohio State and Florida earned the right to play for the title. They did, and the underdog won. How could it get any better?
We-ell, wouldn't you love to see Boise State get a shot at Florida? If there was a playoff system like there is in Division I-AA, Division II, and Division III . . . .
