The Florida Gators defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats at the Louisiana Superdome on New Year's Day in the 76th annual Sugar Bowl. It was a strong comeback after their final season championship game loss to Alabama a month ago, and a decisive victory against the Bearcats with a whopping 51-24 final score. The Gators ' season stands at 13-1, which is the first time an FBS college football team has had 13 wins in 4 different seasons, and the first time a team has had 13 wins in consecutive seasons. The Gators' only loss this season was the SEC championship game against Alabama, which ended their 22 game winning streak and their undefeated season.

This year's Allstate Sugar Bowl was a game of breaking records. Departing Heisman-Trophy winner Tim Tebow, the Gators' star quarterback, set a record of 533 yards offensive. The 482 passing yards set a BCS bowl game and a Sugar Bowl game record. A Sugar Bowl game record was also set with 31 completions. Tebow tied a Sugar Bowl record with 4 touchdowns, and set one with a completion percentage of 88.6 percent, as well as for completing his first 12 passes.

The Bearcats have been known this season for scoring high, but in Friday's game they tied their season record for a low score. Coming into Friday's game, Cincinnati had averaged almost 40 points per game, and just over 464 yards per game, putting them at number 6 in the country for yards. The Gators held them back with both the score and the yardage, with the Bearcats managing only 246 yards, and only 55 of those in the entire first half. Cincinnati had allowed only 11 sacks in their entire season, but Florida gained 4 sacks against them in Friday's game.

The Gators forced a punt in Cincinnati's first time in control of the ball, and then managed their first touchdown after a 13-play, 84-yard drive. It only took a 7-yard pass for Aaron Hernandez to score. A 40-yard field goal courtesy of Caleb Sturgis put the Gators at 9-0. A 64-yard drive by Tebow and another 7-yard touchdown pass to Deonte Thompson raised the score to 16-0.

Then Emmanuel Moody made a touchdown run upping the score to 23-0 before Cincinnati's Jacob Rogers put the Bearcats on the board with a 47-yard field goal, the Bearcats' only score in the first half. By the break, the Gators had managed an 80-yard drive and another touchdown, ending the half at 30-3.

Moody scored another touchdown, then Cincinnati scored their first touchdown of the game, setting the score at 37-10. A 4-yard run after a 74-yard drive saw Tebow score again and then Tony Pike of the Bearcats threw a scoring pass and gave the Bearcats another touchdown. Chris Rainy gave the Gators another touchdown down run, then Pike passed to Kazeem Alli and gave the Bearcats 24 on the board, to the Gators' 51. With not enough time left to make up the deficit, the Gators won the Allstate Sugar Bowl, giving Tim Tebow one last victory in the blue and orange.

The Florida Gators ratcheted their ranking up to 12-0 on Saturday by beating Florida State's Seminoles with a decisive 37-10. And quarterback Tim Tebow, a 2007 Heisman Trophy Winner, had another stellar game. It's fitting that the record-setting Gators games should have had senior Tebow with a whopping 5 touchdowns and top of his game play, because it was his last home game as a Gator.

Saturday's game was the home finale, and the crowd of almost 91,000 fans sent him off in style with emotions running high for both Tebow and spectators. There's still the SEC Championship game, but Tebow's scored his last touchdown at his home stadium. As Tebow left the field for the last time, the fans cheered and gave him a standing ovation, many wearing his famed black eyepatches, and a tearful Tebow hugged coach Meyer at the 30-yard line.

The Gators are on a 22 game winning streak, and have achieved a 12-0 season for only the second time the school's history. It's the first time in Gators history that they've reached 12-0 in the regular season, however. The first time in 1995 included a post-season game. Tebow also now holds the record of a total 11,389 career yards.

Many who already thought that Bobby Bowden, the Seminoles coach for over 3 decades, should retire are renewed in their opinion that it's time for a new coach at Florida State. The Seminoles are 6 for 6, and came out of the gate at the beginning of the season with less than great gameplay. Bowden ranks 2nd, however, in college football coaches with most career victories overall.

Other notable Gators include tight end Aaron Hernandez who had 2 touchdowns, 5 catches and 83 yards, a career high for him. Jeff Demps had 7 carries, more than other players, and a total of 106 yards rushing. Quarterback John Brantley once again took over for Tebow during the game, this time early in the 4th quarter. He finished the game 2 of 2 with 13 yards.

Florida shut out the Seminoles for the first half, scoring 3 touchdowns and one field goal. They'd forced punts 4 times in the first half. The Gators first touchdown came just less than 7 minutes into the first quarter, with Tebow orchestrating a shovel pass reaching 18 yards to Hernandez. They forced the Seminoles to punt and then running back Chris Rainey helped the ball 55 yards of a 69 yard drive. Strugis kicked and scored the 3-point goal giving the gators 10 at the beginning of the second quarter.

An 80-yard drive, the longest of this season, gave Tebow an 18-yard rushing touchdown, his career 55th. With the extra point, it was Gators 17-0. Just over 2 minutes until halftime, Gators got possession and Hernandez caught a 37-yard pass from Tebow for the score, putting the score at 24-0

Riley Cooper caught the first touchdown pass of the second half, then FSU scored for the first time with 3 seconds left in the third quarter. Tebow got his 56th rushing touchdown during the game, and ended the season with his best performance this year.

The Gators have the best record in the country, however, and have set a Gators record, at 21 consecutive wins under coach Urban Meyer in his 5th year at the University of Florida. This marks the longest SEC winning streak in 15 years, and the third longest in the United States in the last 10 years. It's also the 4th longest SEC winning streak in its history. The Gators 21 game winning streak includes 11 undefeated games this season, putting them at 11-0 for only the second time in Gators history, the last being in 1995.

After the November 21st game against FIU, which the Gators took at 62-3, their seniors became the class with the most wins in SEC history. Gator seniors have an impressive 46-6 game record. Overall, the scoring was spread among 8 players, with quarterbacks Tim Tebow and John Brantley responsible for completing 26 passes for over 360 yards, and 5 touchdowns. Tebow managed a career-long touchdown run of 55 yards in the game.

Other notable plays of the game were made by running back Chris Rainey who scored twice, linebacker Brendon Spikes who scored on a 410 yard interception return, and Deonte Thompson who led receivers with 66 yards and 5 catches.

Gators didn't just score impressively on Saturday, but their defense was in top form.  Jaye Howard was the defensive leader. He shared a sack with Lawrence Marsh and managed 7 tackles. Two linebackers, Ryan Stamper and Dustin Doe, each managed one sack each.

The stopped the first 5 conversion attempts in the game against FIU on Saturday. Before that, they stopped the last 8 against South Carolina, putting them at 13 consecutive 3rd down conversion attempts halted. It's the second time they've stopped more than 12 consecutive conversion attempts. Earlier in the season they managed to block 18 consecutive attempts. In the game against FIU, they allowed only 53 rushing yards and one field goal kick. It was also the 4th game in which the Gators didn't allow any turnovers.

The Seminoles' quarterback, Christian Ponder, is out for the season because of an injury, but his replacement, E. J. Manuel, has managed 430 yards and 33 of 51 passes. Jermaine Thomas as also managed 7 touchdowns in 690 rushing yards. FSU's defensive numbers are good, as well, with top defensive linemen Nigel Bradham at 76 tackles, Markus White at 10.5 sacks and Ochuko Jenije with 4 interceptions this season.

The Gators have defeated the Seminoles in their last two match-ups, scoring 45 points each year against only 12 by Florida State in 2007 and 15 points in 2008. The upcoming game against Florida State will be the last game of the regular season and the Gators' last home game.

SEC play opened up with a game between Tennessee and Florida, and the Florida Gators mopped the floor with the Tennessee Volunteers in front of a school record of 90,894 fans that gathered at the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday so that they could watch the No.1 team, the Florida Gators defeat the Volunteers from Tennessee. Now the Florida Gators are 3 and 0 with 1 and 0 for the SEC, and the Tennessee Volunteers are at 1 and 2 with 0 and 1 for the SEC. The Gators won the game with 23 to 13. With this win, UF has now set a new record for the school with a collective thirteen game winning streak.

Under their head coach, Urban Meyer, the Gators are now sitting at 5 and 0 against Tennessee. Florida managed to accumulate 208 in the air under the lead of the senior quarterback, who is Tim Tebow. He completed 14 out of 19 passes, and he also went for 79 yards and a single touchdown. This is the 46th total career touchdown, tying him in second place in the history of the SEC with Kevin Faulk from LSU.

Chris Rainey, a redshirt sophomore, put together a total of 64 yards with 9 carries.

Aaron Hernandez led the Gators with a total of 4 receptions and 26 yards.

Caleb Sturgis, a sophomore kicker, was 2 for 2 with field goals during the first half, which gave the Gators an advantage of 3 and 0 to kick off the showdown. He capped off a 10 yard, 8 play drive after achieving the first field goal for his entire career, which was a boot of 37 yards that fell at the 11:33 mark during the first quarter, allowing Florida to be the first on the board.

Sturgis would go on to tack on an additional three more points from field goals for UF during the third quarter, adding in the 20th victory in the series for the Florida Gators.

In the second half, Tennessee received the ball but the Gators managed an interception, and it led to another field goal by Sturgis, this time it was a 35 yard field goal. At this point, the Orange and Blue was ahead with 16 to 3. Joe Haden's pick marked the fifteenth straight game that the Gators were able to come up with an interception, which actually happens to be a leading statistic in the NCAA.

Florida managed to tack on an additional score at the very end of the third, taking a seven yard touchdown by Jeff Demps. The third quarter closed out with UF ahead by 23 to 6.

After forcing the Gators to punt during the end of the fourth, Tennessee ended up facing a fourth and six situation. Crompton threw the ball downfield but was picked off by Ahmad Black. The game closed out at 23 and 13, giving Florida possession of the series lead all time, with 20 to 19.
