Well, if you look at it, it was a defensive game from the start. Looking at the stats, each defense gave up about the same as they were averaging this season.

Florida - Avg. pts allowed = 12.8 (14 in the BCS game)
OU - Avg. pts allowed = 24.5 (24 in the BCS game)

Rather interesting as everyone was talking about the high power offenses, but defense does win championships.
