Florida Gators MVP quarterback Tim Tebow looks up to his parents in the stands after winning the 2009 BCS National Championship game against the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14 in Miami on January 8, 2009. His eye black refers to a famous Christian bible passage "John 3:16", which reads, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
