Buckeyes Hammer Tide, Gators get past LSU

In the biggest upset so far of the postseason, the Buckeyes used an absolute dominant defensive performance to go on the road and pound Alabama 27-0.  They limited Mark Ingram to 11 yards on the day, and outgained the Tide on the ground 237 yards to 65.  Terrell Pryor was efficient in leading the Buckeyes to 4 short TD passes out of his 170 yards passing.  Brandon Saine rushed for 160 yards, and the Buckeye defense held Alabama to five first downs for the entire game.  Ohio State advances to the Orange Bowl to play Florida on January 1.

The Gators used an explosive first half to rebound after LSU scored on an 85 yard TD pass on the second play from scrimmage.  The Gators came right back down the field to score and ended the first half with a 21-17 lead.  The defenses from both teams arrived in the second half, as only a Florida field goal was put on the board and the Gators held off a 4th and 2 from their 10 yard line in the final minute to end the Tigers season, setting up a rematch with the Buckeyes from a recent Gator National Championship.
