How do you think it's going to go? I've got Bama on top, but not by much. Florida has been playing a really good game lately. It should be hard fought. ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

Football is for people who like to watch men struggling on the ground in tight pants. It's one step removed from wrestling...
It's cold here, I need some flames to keep warm! Seriously though, Bama almost always finds some way to screw it up at the end. I'm calling Florida ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Tallen, I honestly think if Bama were to screw up any game majorly this year, it would have been last week. Fortunately for them, Auburn's bus apparently broke down and they sent their cheerleaders out to play for them. ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

It is going to be one hell of a game.
On one hand, you have Florida's powerhouse Tebow / Harvin (health permitting) offensive combination. This alone has caused most people to call a Gator win by a landslide. I don't think it will be that close. Why? Because on the other hand, you have the 'Bama defense, which operates like clockwork. They have the No. 2 rushing defense, No. 5 pass defense, No. 3 scoring defense and No. 3 total defense. If I am counting correctly, up to this point, 'Bama has allowed four rushing touchdowns all season. That is just stupid good. What 'Bama has to do is force Tebow and the Gator offense to be one-sided. The Tide's strength is their run defense. They need to not let a single running back through the line. Shut the Gator run game down. Make Tebow throw the ball. Can Tebow throw? Hell yes. The kid has a cannon. The problem is, that if you force a QB, even an amazing QB, to only go through the air, the offense has to adjust. The line has to shift, his arm gets tired, the wideout's legs get worn down. Can the Gators adjust? Yeah, but how long will it take? This is the strategy that 'Bama used against Georgia, and look what happened. 31-0 by halftime, but Georgia came back, it just wasn't enough. For 'Bama to win, they need to jump by at least 14 or 17 points by halftime. Keep the Gators behind. That is about the only way they can pull a win. Otherwise it is a Gator victory. |

As much I as hate to say it (see avatar), Florida will take this one. Whale touched on a lot of key points. However, he neglected to mention one key factor: Florida's speed. Yes, Bama's defense runs like clockwork, and they can put up points where it matters. But I just don't see any equality in the speed department. And this is on BOTH offense and defense. This Florida team is just built for speed all across the field. If Florida uses their speed to their advantage like they have the rest of the season, its game over. |

lulz at the Georgia fan. Seriously, Florida just seems to have gotten better as the year went on, where as Bama played a pretty consistent game all season. I don't see Saban letting his team go in unprepared. I also don't see Florida going easy on an undefeated team. Either way it goes, it'll make for a SEC team in the National spot. ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

Well. My mom just called it. The casual football watcher that she is. Wilson threw the interception, and no joke, the first words out of her mouth were "Oh no. That was a mistake." ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

| SEC for FBSC. Tebow is nearly unstoppable. Nearly. |

well florida was the better team simply because they gave their best player the ball more. Tebow really makes that team who they are, he's the best. If bama had gotten the ball more to their play makers, julio jones, then they might have won. JP has always been that guy who wasn't the best but tried to play like he was, and it didn't surprise me at all when he threw that interception. ------------- "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum." |

I guess you would have had to have been there to get the tone of how she said it. It was like "Oh really mom? He didn't mean to throw it to the Florida player? They should bring it back to him and let him try it again because he didn't throw it where he wanted to?" Sorry ref, my bad, let's have a re-do. ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |
