Why we will beat UF

[Padreruf]

I have to admit that UF has better and deeper talent -- and has had far more time running their effective offensive system. However, I still think we will win for the following reasons:
1. We will make it a brawl and not a track meet. TT will not be able to run at leisure up the middle -- we will make him account for every yard gained and pass thrown. Football is still a tough, physical game when played well. (When I watch Tennessee, Pittsburgh, and the NY Giants in the NFL I am reminded of UA at the collegiate level. Same philosophy!)
2. We want it more! This team is focused and hungry...they have a chance to really be special after years of mediocrity. You cannot put a price tag on how sweet success feels after years of not getting up the mountain.
3. They play together. The BEST COMPLEMENT paid to UA was by an ESPN announcer: the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Whaddya think? Am I delusional?

I really like Bama's chances simply because of one statistic, Florida is 101st in the nation in penalties, Bama is 7th.

Not at all. I think you are right on. We are the Power team and they represent the Finesse team. Not advocating we do anything dirty, but we need to be cleanly hitting and tackling Tebow with as much brute force as possible. The only other team they have played that comes close to being as physical as we are was Ole Miss and we all know what happened. This team seems to have an aura of invincibility with the majority in this country but they have shown that they are very beatable.

1. We will make it a brawl and not a track meet.
2. We want it more!
3. They play together.

4. They have Tebow, but we have Coffee ... so God will be neutral.

Florida lost 4 games last year all to teams with above average defenses. LSU (3), Auburn (6), Georgia (14) and Michigan.

Yes! Make him want to get that pitch off early so he can AVOID being hit. That will play into our hands.

ROLL TIDE ROLL.
