Here are the headlines from Alabama where everyone under the sun is writing something about Saturday’s SEC Championship Game:
Some Alabama players have hated Florida for a long, long time.
Alabama’s highly-ranked defense will have to find some way to slow Florida. (Running the ball and eating clock on offense would also help.)
Texas D-coordinator and coach-in-waiting Will Muschamp, who’s shut down Urban Meyer’s offense, believes Bama can slow down UF on Saturday.
Gator receiver Percy Harvin’s ankle is improving.
The Gators and the Tide both make a living off of turnovers. Here’s some more on Bama’s turnover triumphs.
Turnovers are just one reason the Alabama D has been dominant.
Florida’s great season began with a loss to Michigan in last year’s Capital One Bowl. Alabama believes their road to perfection began with a win over Colorado in last year’s Independence Bowl.
Despite being undefeated and ranked #1, Alabama is still a 10-point underdog to Florida.
Florida now has a big play defense to match its offense.
