'Bama Will Lose If…
1) Florida is able to utilize their world-class speed.
It is no big secret that Florida has speed at every position. It is no big secret that when the pocket collapses, Tim Tebow will carry the weight of the team upon his shoulders. It is no big secret that the backfield has stepped up tremendously this season to help Tebow carry the running game.
It is no big secret that Harvin will touch the ball and sprint toward the end zone at some point.
Florida has the speed to run all over the defense of the Crimson Tide if the Tide doesn’t step up and stop it. Plain and simple, the Tide must stop the speed or it will be a long night in the ATL.
The utilization of a 3-4 defense, with Terrance Cody basically serving as nearly two men up front, has made the difference for the Tide’s defensive attack the season. Using four linebackers to keep things boxed in and contained from one sideline to the other has been a stronghold and will be needed perhaps more than anything else this week.
If the speed gets to the corners, watch out!
All the speed in the speed in the world will not do you any good if it is contained and shut down. That’s when the true skill of the players must arise. This will be a test to see if the Tide defense or the Gator offense wants it more on Saturday.
'Bama will hit, and hit hard, but will it be enough to slow this lethal Gator speed?
