The Difference

 

Who Wants it More

 

I believe the difference in the game will be determined at the line of scrimmage. 'Bama has been deadly with the lines, on both sides of the ball, all season.

 

Can they continue to make holes for their tandem of running backs?

 

Will they continue to give John Parker Wilson the time he needs to make passes?

 

Or, will the Gator defense penetrate and shut down the Tide’s offense?

 

Can the Gator offensive line step up and push Cody, McClain, Johnson, and the rest of the Tide defense all around the field?

 

I believe the game will come down to whoever makes the biggest play, which will be determined by which line steps up and allows that play to be made.

 

One last thing to add. For what it it worth, the Tide has already been to the GA Dome once this year. That might help, just slightly, to giving 'Bama some kind of edge.

 

The time for talk is over. We will see who wants it more this Saturday. Best of luck to both teams, with a little extra in Bama’s favor!
