The Agony of Defeat

By on 12.6.08 @ 8:11PM

Win 12 games in a row, and somehow losing Game 13 seems to hurt far worse. Alabama lost the SEC championship game to Florida, 31-20. The Crimson Tide led 20-17 going into the fourth quarter. But Gator QB Tim Tebow then led Florida on a six-minute, 11-play drive that put Florida ahead 24-20 and followed with a five-minute drive to make the lead 31-20 with less than three minutes to play. Oh, the heartbreak of being 12-1!
