Ohio State took a beating at Championship Game

By Nellie Hoehl

The Florida Gators came out with a major upset against the Ohio State Buckeyes in last night’s big game. From the start of the game, it appeared that Ohio St. would take home the win, but Florida came back strong at the Tostitos BSC Championship Bowl.

The first quarter showed the strength of both teams. On the opening kickoff, Ohio St.’s Ted Ginn Jr. sliced and diced 93 yards for a touchdown. Florida still had plenty of time to come back, and they did! After a 7-play drive for a touchdown, the Gators were able to take back control of the ball. Florida completed the quarter with a touchdown by Percy Harvin to put Florida up by 7 points.

At the opening of the second, the Buckeyes became mad and started coming back when Antonio Pittman made an eighteen yard run for a touchdown. Florida’s DeShawn Wynn returned the favor with a 71 yd. drive and touchdown. Kicker Chris Hetland of the Gators then scored six points of field goals in the third quarter, continued by another touchdown for Florida, putting them up by 20 points.

The Florida Gators played a fantastic game, leaving with a final score of 41-14. Ohio St. was favored, yet didn’t show their true greatness over another fantastic team, The Florida Gators.
