The biggest question about Florida heading into tonight's BCS national championship game against Oklahoma was whether the Gators' most exciting offensive playmaker, Percy Harvin, would be completely healthy.
The early returns are in, and Harvin looks just fine. On Florida's first offensive series, Harvin caught a pass over the middle, cut to the inside and picked up a big first down on a third-and-8. He didn't seem to have any trouble moving on his injured ankle.
Later on the drive (which ended with a Tim Tebow interception), Harvin got drilled behind the line of scrimmage on a handoff and lost yardage. But that was a breakdown in the Gators' blocking, not anything Harvin failed to do.
Fox reported during the game broadcast that Harvin had to take painkillers before the game, so there's a risk that when the painkillers wear off, he could be hurting. But so far, there's every reason to believe Harvin will be the big-time player the Gators need.

Hope every enjoyed watching it because many of us in TN did not. Fox went out, and I tried to listen to it on the radio but 106.7 "Home of the BCS champianship game" is playing MTSU basketball game and 104.5 Home of college football is playing another basketball game.

Doesn't sound like your missing much, but a couple of choking offenses.
