Game Time!!!

Saturday Oct. 1, 2011 Tuscaloosa, AL. I’m sure many of you were thinking like I was thinking, “If we can handle Arkansas our next big test will be LSU.” Well that’s how you think preseason. In reality, Florida will not be a walk in the park. Yea they have a new head coach that’s a Saban pupil, but what would be more gratifying than beating your mentor. I’m not too worried about Florida, but I do think they will throw the kitchen sink at us; it comes with the territory. 

Don’t take your Crimson Colored Glasses off. There is no reason to do that. This week is another step to the SEC Championship. Our guys will get up for this game, just because it’s Florida and we have several players from Florida on our squad. They have been recruiting the top prospects before the Urban Meyer era, so they are loaded with speed. But thats not a huge problem for us, we got some burners on our team as well. 

Why do we beat Florida? For any of you who don’t know by now….our defense is suffocating. Florida has two speedy guys that will line up all over the field in Demps and Rainey. They may gash us for a big play, but they aren’t going to able to consistently gain yards with those two backs between the tackles. I think we open the offense up a bit more this week, but we will still be conservative to protect our young Quarterback. We win by 2 scores.
