2008 BCS National Championship Ticket info
Can Florida repeat as national champions? Is pre-season #1 USC ready to make
the full season sprint for a BCS crown? Or will it be LSU, Texas, Michigan or
another school that stakes their place as the best in the land?
The only way to find out is with tickets to the BCS Championship Game on January
7, 2008 at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
For the second year in a row, the BCS will have five bowls: Fiesta, Orange,
Rose, and Sugar, with the national championship coming a few days later at the
Sugar Bowl on January 7th.
As last year’s contest between Florida and
Ohio State proved, the additional game is an excellent opportunity for
those who want BCS tickets to attend the championship game.
New Orleans has always been a great place to host such a spectacular event. The
famous French Quarter, the superb cuisine, plenty of hotel space near downtown
and the Superdome make it an ideal location. You can act now and get your BCS
Championship game tickets at ABCtickets.com. ABCtickets will have plenty of
seats available for you to attend the game that decides which school is the
country’s best.
Last year’s game saw top seeded and undefeated Ohio State come marching to the
Fiesta Bowl as a heavy favorite. One loss Florida played a tough schedule and
outlasted a tough Arkansas team 38-28 to win the SEC championship, and yet most
fans and pundits thought this game was the Buckeyes to lose.
And when Ohio State standout Ted Ginn took the opening kick-off 93 yards, the
Gators found themselves behind early and in need of a quick answer. Senior
quarterback Chris Leak responded by going 5-5 on the first drive and hitting
Dallas Baker for the equalizer.
As both teams calmed down, Florida’s superior strength and speed on the defense
took over. Ohio State managed only one offensive touchdown on the night, an 18
yard run by Antonio Pittman in the 2nd quarter. Meanwhile, Leak took his time
dissecting the Buckeye’s defense, leading the team to a total of 34 first half
points. The defense kept up the pressure in the second half, sacking Smith a
total of five times for the game, and keeping the Buckeyes offense stuck in
neutral.
When the final seconds ticked off, Leak took a knee and won the game’s MVP, the
Florida faithful went crazy, and head coach Urban Meyer took the night to enjoy
his first BCS championship because he knew tomorrow was another day, and one day
closer to the 2008 BCS Championship game in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

Florida Gators BCS National Championship Game tickets
The Gators went 12-1 with one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Florida
owns wins over eight bowl teams, including LSU, who plays Notre Dame in the
Sugar Bowl. Yet, not until Florida knocked off Capital One Bowl-bound Arkansas
in the SEC Championship Game, did they move into second place in the BCS. After
trailing Michigan for the second spot most of the season, the Gators jumped in
front of the Wolverines after beating the Razorbacks.
Gator coach Urban Meyer has employed a two-quarterback platoon, featuring senior
Chris Leak and bringing in freshman phenom Tim Tebow in short-yardage
situations. But with all the Gators’ trickery on offense, Florida’s stifling
defense sometimes gets overshadowed. Bolstered by hard-hitting linebacker
Brandon Siler and lighting-quick defensive back Reggie Nelson, the Gators boast
one of toughest defenses in the nation. And they’ll need every bit of it to slow
down the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Ohio State Buckeyes BCS National Championship Game tickets
The Buckeyes have been on top of the college football landscape from the
beginning and for good reason. Jim Tressel’s bunch hasn’t shown any chinks in
the armor in posting a 12-0 record. The Ohio State offense, led by quarterback
Troy Smith and wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez and Ted Ginn Jr., has been putting
up points in record numbers. That’s not even mentioning the Buckeyes’ pair of
talented running backs in Antonio Pittman and Chris Wells.
Meanwhile, the Buckeye defense, led by Butkus Award winner James Laurinaitis,
has been improving throughout the season. Until Michigan hung 39 on the
Buckeyes, Ohio State had not allowed more than 17 points all season.
Be very careful, Gators, or you might just be the ones getting chomped on.
