NCAA Football News :: SEC Championship : #1 Alabama 20-31 #4 Florida

Posted on 2008-12-06 by Gooner

Florida Gators appear headed back to the national championship game after clinching a big win with two TDs in the fourth quarter.

Tim Tebow threw three touchdown passes including the decisive score with just under 3 minutes remaining to lead the #4 Gators to a 31-20 victory over #1 ranked Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game on Saturday.

That win over a previously unbeaten Alabama should be enough to give Florida a spot in the BCS title game for the second time in three years.

Showing it could win a close game in a season of routs, Florida (12-1) went into the fourth quarter trailing 20-17. But Jeff Demps scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 2-yard run with 9:21 remaining.

Tebow finished the scoring, hitting Riley Cooper on a 5-yard scoring pass with 2:50 left.

Alabama picked the worst possible time for its first loss of the season.

Alabama (12-1) will likely have to settle for a spot in the Sugar Bowl, ruining its hopes of a seventh national championship in school history.
