    Sure am glad my very average looking Gators do not have to play Bama this year......and we won't see them in Atlanta either thank God......cause we ain't gonna make it there I'm afraid.

    The Tide has elevated to a much higher plane than has Florida since our competitive games for the SEC Title during the Tebow years.

    Alabama is very, very good. They have holes though...

    McCarron has this habit of thinking he's playing Xbox from time to time and will throw these mystery balls.

    Defensively, as the announcers mentioned, Saban will always take one thing away from you. (God damn it Diaco, I hope you were watching.. see what we've all been saying?).. That being said, if you want to give a Saban defense trouble, you concede that thing they are going to take away from you and attack them with something else. A power running game with the play action pass (with a QB who can truly pass, not throw) is trouble for their defense and always has been..They can be had, but the teams who can do that to them are very small in number.


    Chin up Bobda, you'll be back.

    Watched the game, and was of course very impressed with Alabama.

    Michigan did seem to be able to get after McCarron when he was in passing situtations. Also UM Wr's did seem to be able to work against that 'Bama pass defense and I was amazed at Robinsons arm strength.
