Another Perfect Regular Season - 12-0 - Gator Await a Rematch Wow...reminiscent of the Tide in 1979 a last quarter......lengthy drive.... "see Daniel Moore All on the Line
" Bama EEEKED by the motivated and scrappy Tigers, to win the game 26 - 21.
Giving the Devil it's due,
the Tigers played very well and turned in some very big plays, going up on Bama 14 - 0, then when the Tide evened the score
at 14 the Tigers hit a long pass to go up 21 - 14. Leigh Tiffin connected on 2 of 3 FG's go pull the Tide within 1, at 21
- 20.
Ingram has a non-Heisman day ...with Auburn stopping Bama's potent running attack, and with the
game hanging in the balance, Greg McElroy and Julio Jones, rose to the occasion. Methodically Bama drove 79 yards completed
7 of 8 passes (4 to Jones) before connecting on a short 3rd down pass to Roy Upchurch for a TD. The try for 2 failed.
Auburn out gained the Tide, but Bama showed championship qualities on that last drive... and as the saying goes,
Found a way to win.
NO REST FOR THE WEARY -
With Fla
in Bama's sights and visa versa, Bama has a very daunting task ahead. To topple #1 Ranked Fla from its perch.
Last year the tables were turned and Bama was the higher ranked team...and Fla did the honors of knocking them from the
perch and dashed any hopes of a National Title.
GAME NOTE : Fla lost a key player who was arrested
for DUI. Carlos Dunlap - (Defensive End)MVP of Fla's Bowl Game last year will not play against Bama, as he was suspended.
The line on the game 5 -6.
My final prediction of 2009 :) I feel good about this game.
Florida leads the SEC in total defense (233.08 ypg) and scoring defense (9.83 ppg)
Alabama is second
in total defense (233.92 ypg) and second in scoring defense (10.83 ppg)
Close huh? I can't put a finger on
it, but I feel more confident about this game than the Auburn Game... I really think Bama has had this game circled since
last year, when the Gators did what Bama did to Auburn...a last qtr long drive to take over the game, after Bama had led for
most of the time.
I think McElroy may start slow, but have a great game... and that Bama will not only find a way
to win but pull away.
People may think me crazy :
Bama 31 Fla 21
