Florida V Oklahoma, it’s personal now!
Yes, it’s personal now, since the Sooners have probably motivated Florida’s Tim Tebow to have the game of his life.
The Sooners need all the help they can get coming to the 2009 BCS national championship game. This is the biggest college football game of the season and the Sooners certainly don’t want to end up losing out on the opportunity to bag the big one.
However, the Oklahoma Sooners calling Florida quarterback Tim Tebow the ‘’fourth-best quarterback in the Big 12′’ was a HUGE mistake. I mean, Tebow has strong legs to go with his rocket of an arm, meaning, he can beat you as bad on the ground game as well as in the air, like he usually does, and pissing him off was a bad judgment call on Oklahoma’s part.
So who made that mistake for the Oklahoma Sooners? Dominique Franks. Franks started stirring things up for the BCS title game over the weekend when he had the audacity to call Tebow a distant no.4 among quarterbacks in the Big 12.
Dominique Franks said Tebow ranks behind their Oklahoma Sooners quarterback AND 2008 Heisman trophy winner Sam Bradford, (figures…) Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy and Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Graham Harrell.
‘’I think our quarterbacks are better,’’ Dominique Franks said. ‘’Just the way they conduct themselves and how they play on the field. I just think, playing against those guys, it’s a lot harder to prepare for those guys than it is for Tebow.’’
Of course, Franks’ comments WILL create quite an uproar in Florida since Tim Tebow was a runner-up for the 2008 Heisman trophy. Hell, Tebow was THE favorite to win the Heisman this season until Sam Bradford was awarded with the hardware.
And as expected, the rest of the Florida Gators were not fond of the comments.
‘’What people don’t realize is you never want to wake up a sleeping giant,’’ Florida receiver Percy Harvin said. ‘’Tebow, you kind of want to leave him alone because now you have to deal with him running even harder than he would have before. So good luck.’’
Franks better pray Florida fans won’t have to thank him after Thursday.
