They moved the ball on two drives in the first half when they scored their TDs, other than that, not so much. On 12 drives they averaged 3.6 yards per play. Take out the 2 scoring drives and the averaged 1.5 yards per play on the remaining 10 drives. In the second half, the average 1 yard per play. I'm not sure Bama can take too much from that, except to hope that we miss numerous tackles like we did. Also, I think Garcia is a much better QB than McElroy. One additional thought, we blitzed more last night than I have ever seen, it was fun to watch. On their two scoring drives we brought the corner blitz several times and Garcia checked down to the open man each time. I don't think we ran that blitz in the 2nd half at all. Now, on to Florida International. I'm really worried about this game... Ken K MNGator

I hope this doesn't give Alabama any clues as to how to scheme against us. I hope we can come up with some defensive looks that Alabama will not have seen from us. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

I just wish people would stop talking about the Gators being 19 - 0, now 20 - 0. This team is 10 - 0. Those other wins belong to the 2008 team. I want our guys to play loose, and have fun, not like they are trying to preserve or maintain something, or be perfect, or play up to the expectations of others. A few weeks ago, although I certainly didn't want us to lose a game, I was thinking that dropping one might actually be liberating for the team, and give them some motivation (as did the loss to 'Ole Miss last year). It could also have helped with the fans' expectations, and we might not have been so critical after close wins. Anyway, it's way too late for that now. We have three games in front of us, and if we win out, we are the SEC Champions and are playing for the National Championship. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

Tennessee, LSU and Miss St... dont forget we played first... so we could have easily exposed to Bama how to handle them.

Looking at "big play" production on offense, it would appear that Alabama did better tonight versus Mississippi State than we did against them. Or maybe I am justed spooked by my fears of Julio Jones and Mark Ingraham running through our secondary. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

We score more, get more total yards and give up less yards and points than them. Yet, they have the more complete team? I know, we've got to get past FIU and the semis first. Heh heh heh. So, anyway, about Alabama...
