This is it Florida vs Alabama in the SEC Championship game. In this game we have two top ranked teams playing for all of the respect and accolades Nick Saban vs Urban Meyer two great coaches.
It is the first time ever 1 & 2 have played for a conference championship game.
At the start of the game Alabama got the coin toss and the coach decided the receive the ball. Greg Mcelroy has the ball first and Alabama is moving the chains. The 6"3 218 Lb Junior is moving the team down the field in a methodical fashion. well that was until the drive stalled and Alabama's kicker Leigh Tiffin kicked a 48 yrd field goal to get on the board with 3 pts. Now it's time for Florida to try to come back.
Florida's drive stalled and now Alabama has the ball again and they are driving.
It's 2nd and 15 for the Tide and they are on the verge of scoring. Wow, Florida just received a penalty and it's now 1st and goal for the Tide.Ingram just went up the middle for a touchdown the score may be 9-0 in favor of Alabama.
This doesn't bode well for Florida.
After the score Florida gets the ball back down by 9 points. This is uncharted territory for Florida because they are usually the ones who are ahead.
Tim Tebow is trying to rally the troops to get this game back under control.
It's amazing watching Tim Tebow at this level. This guy is a phenomenal athlete. As the plays develop you can see Tim keeping the Defence off balance.
You can see the tenacity of the Alabama defence they are keeping the Florida attack under wraps. there are 47 seconds left in the 1st quarter and The Alabama defence is still attacking. Kaleb Stergis kicked a field goal attempt from 48 yrds, the game is now 9-3 Alabama. We have a game on our hands ladies and gentlemen.
After the field goal Florida kicked off and now Alabama is driving.
Great hit By hicks! He stopped a 1st down by Alabama now they will have to punt.
The Tide punts and James receives for Florida if it wasn't for the kicker the Gators would have 7 pts. It is back in the hands of Tim Tebow and the Florida Offence. 2nd and 10 Florida runs the option, but there is a flag.....holding on the offence 10 yrd penalty. This is going to be a very hard fight for Florida to get back in this game.
This game is looking like it's fated for Fla not to win. 3 rd and 14 and Tebow has allot of time but there is no one open.
The Gators punt (54 yrds) to put the Tide back in their territory.
The tide is driving , great run by Trent Richardson . This guy is breaking tackles and running hard.
It's only the first half and Florida is in trouble. You can tell that Florida isn't playing well at this point. If they can't gain control Alabama will win this game.
Third and 5 for the Tide lets see what they do, Oh my goodness the QB just got the first down by tip toeing the line . What a play! It's 3rd and 20 for the Crimson Tide and they couldn't get the first now they are going to try a 34 yrd kick, and it's good 12- 3 Alabama.
This is a key point in the game for Florida, down 12-3 Florida has another opportunity to get into the end zone. Florida only has 5 rushing attempts in this game so they are defiantly at a disadvantage.
Tebow is back in the pocket and he's got the ball, 22 yrd gain nice. it looks like Super man is taking control.
Touchdown Gators Tebow to David Nelson 12-10 Alabama.
Florida has just kicked off to The Crimson Tide and the return is 20 yrds. Ingram just received a pass and he took it 69 yrds to the 10 yrd line. Now Alabama is threatening to score. 1st and 3 .....Touchdown Alabama.
The score is now 19 - 10 Alabama with 3:32 left.
Oh yeah great catch by Cooper for a 60 yrd pass play 1st and 10 at the 20.
The drive has stalled and Florida has to settle for a field goal.The score is now 19-13 Alabama.
Half time
Ok Florida gets the ball and they show a great pic of Tebow praying on the side line.
Florida has fought their way back into this game and you can see it in the way they are playing. The drive stalls and the Gators have to kick.
Alabama has the ball and they are giving it to ingram. This RB is a great ball Carrier. After three straight rushes The Crimson Tide gets a huge play to maze down the field.
The next play was a busted screen with a 15 yrd penalty for roughing the passer. This looks like it's setting up Alabama for something.
The very next play is a touchdown to Peek from Greg Mcelroy Alabama 26 -13.
Tebow is back on the field with the largest deficit of the year.
Florida is slowly going down the field and it is tough going. Third and long and Florida doesn't convert, now Florida has to punt to Alabama and the Crimson Tide Offense.
Florida makes a mistake on third and 10 and Alabama coverts the first down. Alabama is holding onto 3rd and 7 and they find the receiver for a first down at he 40 yrd line. And you can see Alabama continuing to move the ball by picking up key 3rd downs with Ingram running. Alabama just picked up a penalty and it's 3rd and 2 with Ingram running like a man possessed. This guy is really running the ball and breaking tackles.
Wow Mcelroy just made a huge play by eluding tackles and getting down to the goal line. 3rd and inches for the Tide. The play is a first down at the goal line...Touchdown Alabama this game looks like it has gotten out of hand for Florida down by three touchdowns. The score is 32 -13 Alabama.
Tebow is moving the Gators down the field with only 12 minutes left in the game. The look that the Fla Fans have is one of shock. Sack by Alabama and they ruled it a fumble on the field. The booth will review it.
Huge over turn the ruling on the field is an incomplete pass Florida keeps the ball.
Tim Tebow is trying to keep the Gators in the game with his passing. Interception of Tebow in the end zone this may be the end Florida needed three touch downs to win and this makes it darn near impossible.
Ingram is now over 100 yrds on the next play we can expect Alabama to run the ball every time to eat up the clock. Ok now Alabama is punting and Florida gets another shot at it.
Now the Defence for Alabama is just dropping 6 DB's back into coverage making it hard to pass. Ohhhh 30 yrd pass play to Hernandes from Tim Tebow.
Florida just recieved a penalty for illegal formation and now it's fourth and short at the Alabama 13 yrd line. Incomplete pass, so Florida turns over on downs. This game is over now. All that's needed is the final clock.
Well that's it after a few knees the Crimson Tide ends the game and the part that bugs me is Super man (Tim Tebow) looked real average and I don't think that will help him in his quest to get to the NFL. What a year Bobby Bowden is forced out of Fla State and now Fla looses the sec championship game.
Wow.
