Alabama LB Hamilton out at start 2nd half of SEC title game
The injuries make it even more hard and it would be surprising to see the Crimson Tide not score more than 40 points in this game. He also spent time with Nick Saban at Alabama as Offensive Coordinator before taking the job at Colorado State and then Florida.
The Crimson Tide (13-0, No. 1 CFP) bolted to a 16-9 lead in the first quarter, despite being held to minus-7 yards and no first downs. Allen has recorded 8.5 sacks while returning two fumbles for a touchdown. Jordan Scarlett attempted to leap over the line on a third-and-goal play but he never got off the ground.
“We just try to go out and do what we do best”, said receiver ArDarius Stewart, who finished with three receptions for 42 yards. Or, more likely, the national title game could be a rematch of a year ago, Alabama vs. Clemson. “Coach Saban has always had a rule that freshmen don’t speak, and all year I’ve lived up to that rule, I’ve respected it and here we are now with my first time speaking to the media”.
This Alabama team looks different – at least on offense – compared to last season’s.
“We were just playing this game like animals all day, man”, linebacker Tim Williams said.
Alabama has 22 non-offensive touchdowns in its last 21 games. Not only from Jalen Hurts, but from the Crimson Tide running backs Bo Scarbrough and Damien Harris. On the season, Callaway has 47 catches for 669 yards and four touchdowns.

ATLANTA (AP) – Alabama showed off all its weapons in the Southeastern Conference championship game.
Justin Crawford rushed for 209 yards to help the Mountaineers (10-2, 7-2) to their first 10-win regular-season since 2007. “He really has a resiliency just to come back and focus on the next play”, the coach said.
The Cowboys have a 19-17 lead over the Aztecs in all-time meetings.
San Diego State Boasts the Mountain West’s best defense at 20.8 points per game. However, scoring over 40 points total shouldn’t be. While the Tide should roll, to come out and say they will basically win by four touchdowns or more is a pretty bold statement.
No. 3 Clemson vs. In fact, the Big 10 conference has more wins over ranked teams than the South Eastern Conference.
Florida clinched its second straight SEC Eastern Division crown, marking the first time since 2008 and ’09 that the Gators have won consecutive division titles.
Alabama has not given up a defensive touchdown in 17 quarters, a span that covers its entire November schedule. Clemson, Washington and Wisconsin all lose and the ‘Pokes chances of sneaking into the Playoff skyrocket.

Alabama would be the 12th team to win two straight AP championships.
Virginia Tech defensive end Jimmy Taylor is questionable with a hand injury. Florida has everything a team could dream of having when pursuing a national championship. The Gators quarterback Austin Appleby has to play similar to how he did against SC, when he completed 17 of his 21 passes for over 200 yards and two touchdowns. The 14 non-offensive scores, which includes 10 on defense, also now leads the entire FBS as the regular season has ended.
