FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The National Football Foundation & College Football Hall of Fame (NFF) today presented the MacArthur Bowl to the Florida Gators (13-1) as their prize for beating, 24- 14, the Oklahoma Sooners (12-2) yesterday in the FedEx BCS National Championship before a sellout crowd of 78,468 at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens. NFF President & CEO Steven J. Hatchell handed the national championship trophy to Head Coach Urban Meyer who accepted the prize on behalf of his team at today's 10 a.m. (EST) press conference at the Marriott Harbor Beach Hotel.

"It's a great honor on behalf of our chairman, Archie Manning, our board of directors, and our 12,000 members, to present the MacArthur Bowl to the national championship team, coach Urban Meyer, and the entire Gator football family," Hatchell said. "Coach, your team had a performance yesterday that thrilled us all, and their accomplishments will now forever be part of the rich history of college football, preserved at the College Football Hall of Fame and etched on this fabulous trophy for generations to come. Congratulations Coach!"

Florida, the 2008 SEC Champions, defeated Oklahoma, the 2008 Big 12 Champions, marking the Gators' third national title (1996, 2006, & 2008) since the school started playing football in 1906. Florida last claimed the MacArthur Bowl and the national championship two years ago after the 2006 season under coach Meyer by toppling Oklahoma, 41-14, in the 2007 Tostitos BCS National Championship in Glendale, Ariz. Coach Meyer becomes the first coach to win two BCS National titles, and the Gators join LSU as the only teams to win two BCS National Championships since the system was developed in 1998.

Representing the pinnacle of team achievement in college sports, the trophy was the gift of an anonymous donor, who commissioned Tiffany & Co. to craft it from 400 ounces of silver, in honor of NFF founder General Douglas A. MacArthur and features his famous quote: "There is no substitute for victory." The 2008 Florida team will now have its name etched on the silver trophy, which will visit Gainesville, Fla., until the 2009 champions claim it. Last year, more than 500,000 people saw the trophy while it was on display in Baton Rouge, La.., after the LSU Tigers' victory in the title game.

With the advent of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) in 1998, the national championship game now determines which team will be presented the MacArthur Bowl and have their named engraved on the sparkling archways aside the greatest teams of all time. The National Football Foundation, as an impartial arbiter, tabulates and releases the weekly BCS standings during the college football season.
