Alabama, Florida trade special teams scores on consecutive blocks

But Hurts couldn’t complete what his defense started, running for a loss of 1 yard and throwing two incompletions in the end zone. It was the second interception in two weeks for Hamilton, who did not have an interception in the first 11 games. You can be Tom Brady.

Running back Derrick Gore blocked a punt that running back Josh Jacobs returned 27 yards for a score. The only difference is I don’t see how the Gators have any chance of scoring 17 points against this Alabama defense, which has not given up a touchdown since October 22. Saban has more than 30 years of coaching experience, including 23 years as a head coach – 21 in the college ranks and two with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins – but said one day he’ll have to face his fear of age catching up with the quality of his coaching and his health.

We’ll be back for more later. But what is most important for the Crimson Tide, is to play like they have all season, without mistakes.

“It just knocked us down”, linebacker Jarrad Davis said.

But McElwain knows his Gators will have to start winning once they get here.

(0:19) DeAndre Goolsby catches a 25 yard pass from Austin Appleby.

It was 33-16 at intermission, with Alabama scoring the most first-half points in an SEC title game.

Appleby summarized the reasoning for this statistic in a simple way. “Because all the teams you play from here on out are really, really good”. “You run the ball at us?”

With everything going on last week I didn’t get my picks done in time to publish them.

Nick Saban and his Bama squad only need to survive this game and in fact they don’t even need that as they would be in the play-offs even with a loss. With a limited offense, Florida has been carried by its defense, especially the secondary, all season. “So I just used that as fuel in the off-season, and just like, when we see those boys again, I don’t want to feel like that during the game”. “It clearly didn’t work”. After all, Alabama’s defense didn’t even allow an opponent inside its own 10-yard line in the entire month of November while the Gators offense had more turnovers than touchdowns in the month of November.

We’ll have up-to-the-minute scoring and stats here throughout the game. The Gators have scored just one TD in their last 10 quarters.

Actually, Alabama was the only team playing chess on Saturday. But that lead would serve as the highlight of a coronation of the Crimson Tide as SEC champions, as Alabama won 54-16 on Saturday afternoon.

“I think this is the best 85 that they’ve probably traveled with to the SEC championship game”, he said. That’s really all I’m focusing on.

The Crimson Tide capped off an undefeated campaign with a 54-16 win against Florida, which assured Alabama the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. I can’t imagine Saban would run up the score on McElwain if the game is out of hand in the fourth quarter.
