Defensively, UF will be the best team we've faced all season. They rank #2 in the SEC (behind Alabama) in scoring defense, rushing defense, and total defense and are ranked 4th in passing defense (Bama is 5th).
Offensively, they're a bit of a mess. They miss Grier a bit, but Grier wasn't exactly lighting it up as the starter - he was better than Harris. They have no real backup options behind Harris save Luke Del Rio, who transferred to UF (once against following Nussmeier). UF is ranked 8th in the SEC in scoring, 13th in rushing, 6th in passing, and 12th in total offense. They are a well-coached, opportunistic team, taking advantage oaf other teams' mistakes more than imposing their will on them.

According to Sagarin, after 12 games Florida has played the 46th toughest schedule in the country while Bama has played th 5th toughest schedule. On paper we should be able to stop their offense and grind out points with our offense, but both defenses are very good, so this won't be a cakewalk. I've watched several games this season (and attended one in Gainesville) - this UF team doesn't quit - they're going to play for 60 minutes and Bama better show up ready for a dogfight.
