Thursday’s BCS National Championship is, of course, the big news this week and lots of folks are talking about the two young men who will have a lot to do with who wins the big game.

In the days leading up to the championship, Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford (at left)and Florida quarterback Tim Tebow have shared their thoughts about Thursday’s game, but they also have talked about something else: Their faith in God.

“The key things I’ve learned are patience, perseverance and trusting God,” Bradford said in a video interview on the Web site.

“Everything that God does He’s doing for a reason. He has a purpose and we need to trust Him and know that His plan is the right way.”

Tebow said: “I found true satisfaction, true happiness — and it is not by having your name in a newspaper, it is not by winning trophies, and it is not by winning championships. It is by having relationship with Jesus Christ.”
