Why is everyone so scared of Bama?

The only thing that makes me not panic following the Vandy game is all the flukish stuff that went into in. The opening drive touchdown that was overturned (without proper video evidence), the missed extra point, not being able to kick a field goal twice in positions that we should have been able to run our kicker out there and him hit the field goal, turning the ball over in Vandy territory 4 times, all of that stuff is extremely flukish when you look at our body of work the entire season. Hell, even their touchdown run was aided by the ref blocking Keanu Neal. If Mac is the coach I think he is, he will use this as motivation and a learning experience to not let it happen again and go out and prove to the doubters that we are for real. I'm interested to see how we do at responding to a bad performance and if we can see noticeable improvement from last week to this week.

We played sloppy against Vandy and it was very frustrating. Like Muschamp ball all over again. But if these uncharacteristic errors don't occur, that game should've been 30-0. We are a much better team that came out and played a sloppy game, but found a way to do just enough to win.

When we play FSU and eventually Bama, you will see more of the Florida team we saw vs Ole Miss, Georgia, and LSU and less of the team we saw against Vandy and ECU. Mac hasn't given me a reason to lose faith in him, so I trust that he'll have them ready for South Carolina, then FSU, then whoever we draw from the West in the SEC Championship Game.

Ole Miss beat Bama, anything is possible. Do i think we ll beat them? No. But i do think once Mac has 2 more classes come in and builds up the offense the way he wants it we ll be the Beasts of the East again.

Bama had a bad game. Despite having 5 turnovers, Bama almost won that game at the end.

It's because Harris is the QB. If we still had Grier I would feel much better about beating BAMA and doing some damage in the playoff. I think our defense is good enough to beat anyone . The WRs and RBs are not bad but the OL and QB play now have been really bad. They are clearly better then us on offense the way Harris has been playing. I am shocked that we have not starts to run the read option and maybe ev some hurry up to get ready for BAMA. Maybe Malzahn will be able to uncover some weaknesses for us on BAMAs defense.

They are basically LSU with a better coaching staff. Because of the linebacker depth we dont match up well against power run teams. I sort of believe that football is a lot like boxing sometimes, styles make fights and in football matchups make the game but I also believe that crazy things can happen for the underdog on those magical nights.

I know one thing though. I have read every practice report, watched every post game and midweek presser and seen every game and damn near have listened to every Gator radio show. I know this, Coach Mac will have UF prepared and ready to go. They will not go silently into that night. The defense will wrap up and tackle and go for the strip everytime. The DBs will gamble and go for them pick 6's on Coker. Townsend will be running into the endzone on Les Milesesque fake punt. Mac will send Hardin to a Bill Belichek therpaist and Hardin will suddenly be nailing 55 yarders with regularity like Heitland did in 2006. Calloway will house a punt return and Powell will have us starting at midfield on every drive. On offense we are gonna zone read Bama to damn death. Hell Mac might install the triple option for this game. 30 bubble screens to Drob and 5-10 bombs to Calloway and 5 drags to Powell should do the trick. KT is gonna go colorblind and think he is playing UG and run for 200. Flea flickers all night! Double reverse screen passes galore. Coach Mac is gonna pull so much shite out of his arse in Atlanta he is gonna have to go see a proctologist after the game.

14-1

If we had Grier id give us a punchers chance, too many missed opportunities right now from the qb position.
