Sam Bradford is returning to Oklahoma for at least another year!

The associated press just announced Sam Bradford, the Heisman Trophy winner, is returning to Oklahoma for his junior year. Bradford is a premiere quarterback and ran Oklahomas high powered offense that averaged over 54 points per game. He has everything required of an NFL quarterback, including the abilities to read the defense, great pocket presence and great awareness. His offensive line is among the top in the category of “Sacks Allowed”, largely due to Bradford’s awareness of when to get rid of the ball. Sam Bradford led the league with 50 touchdown passes last season and a quarterback rating of 180.8.

Good or Bad Call? It's hard to determine whether he made the right decision considering the very weak quarterback class this year. He could have made more money if he would have declared this year because the NFL is considering giving lower signing bonuses to rookies next year. Having said that, it will give him time to prepare himself mentally, for the pressure the professional athletes’ are under. If he did enter the upcoming NFL draft, he would have likely been the second QB chosen.

National Championship tonight!



Keys for the Gators

Florida will win if they can consistently get to the quarterback. If they can pressure the Heisman winner Sam Bradford into making mistakes, or simply get him out of his rhythm, the Gators will win the game. The Gators will also need to get an early lead and force the Sooner’s to pass more than they would like. If the Gators can accomplish those things they will be the national champion.

Keys for the Sooners

Oklahoma will win if it forces Florida into making mistakes and more importantly, stop the Gators running offence. Tim Tebow can not only hurt you with his accurate passes and quick decision-making ability, but also with his feet. He had almost the same number of TDs in the rushing category as in his passing this season! In a game full of emotion such as this, it will be hard to keep a cool head. Nevertheless, the calmest team will have the edge over the other. Lastly, if Oklahoma can run the ball consistently on Florida and keep Tebow and Co. on the sidelines, Oklahoma will win the game.
