Five Thoughts
- I mentioned before the game (and I was by no means alone in this sentiment) that Florida needed two things to have a chance to win: a) land a couple of haymakers and b) succeed to at least some small degree with their base plays. They succeeded on (a), scoring on a 65-yard bomb 19 seconds into the game. But (b) was a complete and total failure. A 5.6% rushing success rate is about as low as you will ever see, and if you are one-dimensional against Alabama, you are going to get mauled. Chris Rainey and Jeffery Demps: 14 carries, four yards.
- With Trent Richardson and that defense, I'm not sure it matters, but I'm less and less impressed with Alabama's passing game. Florida has a very strong pass defense, but ... Richardson is the No. 2 target, and Marquise Maze is only averaging 6.6 yards per target, a very low total for a No. 1 target.
- That said, the passing game was just good enough to convert some passing downs and extend drives. And that's probably as good as it needs to be.
- Oh, Trent Richardson. If the line is going to be clearing that much space, he'll be a Heisman finalist.
- It is pretty difficult to hold a team to a negative S&P, even for one quarter. 'Bama pulled it off in Q4.
