BCS championship: Florida leads Oklahoma 14-7 after 3 quarters

-- MIAMI -- The top-ranked Florida Gators grabbed a 14-7 lead over No. 2 Oklahoma after three quarters at the BCS national championship game Thursday night.

With two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks and offenses that combined to average 99 points per game in the regular season, the Gators and Sooners were expected to trade scores most of the night at Dolphin Stadium. But the defenses came up with most of the biggest plays in the first 30 minutes.

Quarterback Tim Tebow led Florida to the go-ahead third-quarter touchdown.
