Prediction

 

It has all been laid out on the line. Whoever wants needs to come and get it. The winner moves on the BCS Championship game in Miami, while the loser goes to New Orleans for a Sugar Bowl bout.

 

I do believe that 'Bama will control the defensive line of Florida enough to get the running game going, which in turn will make Florida play honest to the run and open up the passing game.

 

I believe that other teams have tried to utilize three defensive linemen to stop Florida all season, by freeing up extra linebackers. However, 'Bama has been doing this all season. It is what they know and do each week.

 

I think McClain, Reamer, and Hightower will control everything and keep it from going north and south. The speed in my opinion will be slowed down.

 

The passing game will have to win it for Tebow and the Gator gang, but I think Rashad Johnson and the defensive backs will step up and make some plays. Toss in a couple of corner blitzes and you have a Tide upset!

 

 

Bama 30 Florida 28
