The coaches said that they specifically designed the formation for Alabama. That is why it exists.

I think Florida would be happier having Alabama line up in a more spread out formation.

So I think they will play the 5-2 when Alabama goes big, but will slide back into their normal nickel or 4-3 when they spread it out.

Also, UF feels pretty confident, even in the 5-2, of having their DBs in single coverage.

Use play action to freeze the DBs, get a pulling block from one of the tackles in the middle, get the RB to the 2nd level and force a LB to make a play in space. If he makes the tackle, it's a 4 yard gain...if not, it's a 1st down.

I'll take Ingram or Richardson over any LB in the SEC in a 1-on-1 situation and win most of the time.
