Tebow puts on show in his home finale

By SUN WIRE SERVICES

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Tim Tebow's final home game went about like everyone expected.

There were tears, touchdowns and another thumping.

Tebow threw for three TDs, ran for two scores and top-ranked Florida beat rival Florida State 37-10 yesterday for its sixth consecutive victory in the heated rivalry.

The Gators stayed unbeaten heading into next week's Southeastern Conference showdown against No. 2 Alabama, extended the nation's longest winning streak to 22 games and improved to 12-0 for just the second time in school.

Tebow may have even secured a third consecutive trip to New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation.

The Seminoles (6-6) lost for the second time in six games, and longtime coach Bobby Bowden said after the game he had some soul-searching to do before he decided if he wanted to return for another season.

OKLAHOMA 27, #11 OKLAHOMA ST. 0

NORMAN, Okla. -- DeMarco Murray ran for two touchdowns, Ryan Broyles returned a punt 88 yards for a score and Oklahoma knocked Oklahoma State out of contention for its first appearance in the BCS.

With representatives of the Fiesta and Orange bowls watching on, the Cowboys (9-3, 6-2 Big 12) fell completely flat.

#4 TCU 51, NEW MEXICO 10

FORT WORTH, Tex. -- Andy Dalton matched a career high with four touchdown passes, two to Antoine Hicks in a 12-second span, as TCU wrapped up its first undefeated regular season in 71 years.

That should finally make the Horned Frogs (12-0, 8-0 Mountain West) a BCS buster.

S. CAROLINA 34, #15 CLEMSON 17

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Stephen Garcia threw three touchdown passes and South Carolina's defense slowed down Clemson star C.J. Spiller.

Spiller opened the game with an 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, an NCAA record- setting seventh of his career. But the Gamecocks bottled up Spiller and Clemson's high-scoring offence after that to end the Tigers' six-game win streak.
