Oklahoma Player Takes Verbal Swipe At Tebow

Say one thing for University of Oklahoma defensive back Dominique Franks; he is willing to speak his mind.

In comments made to the media gathered for the national title game between the Sooners and the Florida Gators, Franks said that Gator quarterback Tim Tebow was not as good as Big 12 quarterbacks Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy and Graham Harrell.

"I think our quarterbacks are better," Franks was quoted as saying. He also went on to say that it was harder preparing for those Big 12 quarterbacks than it is to prepare for Tebow.

Over the course of the season, the Oklahoma secondary has been suspect, giving up 253 yards a game through the air. However, the defense as a whole has been solid, causing 32 turnovers and giving up just 106 yards a game on the ground.

Today is Media Day for both teams as they get ready to play for the BCS national title on Thursday.
