The Oklahoma Sooners and Florida Gators have just entered Dolphin Stadium for the BCS National Championship Game.

The two quaterbacks could not have presented more of a contrast.

UF's Tim Tebow, who entered first with his team, snapped his arms quickly, doing the Gator chomp to the raucous delight of fans lining the barricades near the buses. Then Tebow strode toward the stadium entrance with a grim, purposive look on his face. He was clearly pumped up for the contest.

Most of the Gators, however, had sober expressions on their faces.

OU quarterback, Sam Bradford, on the other hand, walked in without much display. He wore headphones and a relaxed smile. Bradford walked in with what looked, for all the world, like an easy, confident swagger.
