Great. This is a game I've been wanting to study stats for both teams. This is close to what I've been looking at:
A look at Florida players:
Emory Jones leads his team with 113 passing yards (113.0 per game) and has a 63% completion percentage (17-of-27), throwing one touchdown pass and two interceptions. He also has 74 rushing yards on 10 carries, averaging 74.0 yards per game.
But meanwhile, Bryce Young has put up 344 passing yards (344.0 yards per game) while completing 27 of 38 passes (71.1% completion percentage), with four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
If Emory starts, I think we can expect Alabama to take away the run game and force Emory to throw ball more. Emory has struggled in the last two games. At some point we will see Alabama turn to Richardson, who is dyanmic player, but still struggle to make accurate throws.
Their offense is not the same as last year, but I expect Florida to try and run more to set up explosive plays.
Against FAU, Jones went 17/27 for 113 yards with 1 TD and 2 ints.
Richardson went 3/8 for 40 yards.
USF- Richardson went 152 yards and 2 TDs while Jones went 14/22 for 151 with 1 TD/2 Ints.
I suspect Richardson is playing well because of who they were playing.
I think Jones and if he stays on the course as he has been lately, He will throw at least 2 interceptions in the game while Richardson will throw 1.
I predict the score... 48-21 Alabama. Florida Defense get tired in 2nd half, so I wouldn't be shocked if Alabama offense goes on a long series, burning up clock in 3rd or 4th quarter.
