Having to double Cody on every play, blocking scheme wise, is the equivalent of having 8 in the box, while only using 7 players. Saban’s forte is the D secondary. This will be a true test of Tebow’s ability to read defenses, which Saban is a master of disguising, and completing passes.

I know it’s a cliche, but turnovers will be the key to this game.

To answer the question from the headline: there’s no way Saban isn’t watching his players as they sleep this week, and Meyer’s been gagging his boys since Brandon Spikes mouthed off about Tennessee. There’s plenty of motivation on either side (Bama, proving itself the rightful #1 again and the freight of the fanbase and history; UF, whatever got into Tebow after Ole Miss, a chance to prove it’s not Harvin that stirs the drink, and two in three years) and no trash talk is necessary.

Also, remember that UF and Bama are occasional opponents; they’re not the designated rivals from the SEC East and West, so they rotate two years on and off, I believe; the last time they played, UF rolled in 2006.

Oh, and Bama gave Meyer his first loss at UF.

Alabama has been able to run the football on everyone this year and I don’t see how they can consistently do it against Florida. Florida also can neutralize Alabama’s huge D-line with Cody by running to the outside with speed. I don’t trust John Parker Wilson at all in this spot.

I love Florida, but with a questionable Harvin, a -9.5 spread is just stupid stupid high. Saban’s team will be ready to go, absolutely no doubt. I love Bama at +9.5. Love.

tampa, he actually wasn’t even the starter for the SC game, he came in at the end of the game and led the O down field for a td. Mustain was 8-0 as a starter that year. Pretty sure casey dick started that SC game.

Ark- Thats 3 losses in a Row holy shit balls. That was the Year Mitch Mustain was there. Nutt fucked up I would have kept him as the starter the only game they lost was the USC game with him as the starter. He wasnt a Matt Leinart but he was a game manager.

I know lots of people hate him but Sagarin has UF’s SOS at 28 and Bama’s at 73. The fact that Bama didn’t have to play Citadel I think confirms this.
