Damn sure hope you're right about that Bama...they should be able to. Running games gonna be "vital" in this one.
KW ran harder in the last game between the tackles than I have ever seen him run. Perhaps the back seat is a bit warm and has caused him to try harder. If we can get 50-100 yards out of Murphy and Williams, than Scott should get his and feel good doing it. Florida's db's are fast but they are little, and I see plenty of trucks coming.
I think too much is made out of stuff like this. In a huge game like this both teams will be jacked up coming out no matter what. No way do I think that Meyer was going to lead lackluster Gator Team out in a must win situation against the #3 team in the country had the comments not been made. I think this does more to get the fans worked up more than anything.
Scott and our OL is the key to this game hands down. The UF D-line is somewhat of their weakness on defense (LB is their strength). OL and our running game is our strength. Pound the ball away. 1.) Wear down their D-line with our physical O-linemen 2.) Force their LB's to play sideline to sideline and make plays 3.) Control the clock; keep Tebow and Harvin on the sidelines as much as possible ZERO turnovers is a "gimmie" and should be understood for every game. On defense: 1.) Get to Tebow with the down linemen. This would allow Beckwith to "spy" more and not let Tebow step up in the pocket and take off after the rush has passed him. 2.) Contain Harvin and don't let him get around the corner; protect the sidelines and force him back inside. Make him have to use his sore ankle 3.) Challenge their WR's at the line; disrupt their timing patterns. Florida, much like ourselves, have phenominally fast WR's. Don't give them the crossing patterns in traffic where they can zig-zag through for more yardage. Jam them at the line and force Tebow to have to hang on to the ball more.
