Show THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Tuesday, January 9,2007 THL ASSOCIATED PRESS GATORS STUN BUCKEYES IN TITLE GAME BLOWOUT continued from Page 7 New Year's Day, while Florida and the Buckeyes finished with identical 13-1 records. Former Gators star Emmitt Smith did the chomp on the sidelines, punctuating the amazingly easy victory. That left Florida, Wisconsin and Louisville each with one loss, and surely will renew calls for a playoff system. Ted Ginn Jr. returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown, then it quickly fell apart for the Buckeyes. He hobbled off minutes later with an injury and by the time he returned for the second half on crutches, Florida led 34-14. Leak, maligned for never winning the big one, completed 25 of 36 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown. The Rambo-like Tebow threw for one TD and powered into the end -zone for another. Smith, meanwhile, joined a long list of Heisman Trophy quarterbacks—Jason White, Eric Crouch and Gino Torretta, among them—to fall apart in bowl games. He was just 4-for-i4 with one interception and never showed off his elusive running. Instead, defensive ends Derrick Harvey and Jarvis Moss made it a miserable night for Smith. Linebacker Earl Everett got into the act, too, running down Smith despite missing his helmet. Florida won its second national title, adding to the one Heisman winner Danny Wuerffel brought home in 1996 under coach Steve Spurrier with a 52-20 romp over Florida State in the Sugar Bowl. This time, the man in charge was the 42year-old Meyer, once a .200 hitter in the low minors in Atlanta's farm system.
