What I learned After Rewatching Alabama vs. Florida

People are WAYYYYY overreacting to this game. Holy shite.
At the beginning of the season, this was circled as being possibly the toughest game on our schedule next to Texas A&M. This was BYoung's first road test, and we WON. Keyword - we WON. I've never seen our fanbase so pissed after a win over a good team.
Florida is a good team. The read option run game is hard to stop when the QB is basically a running back who runs a 4.4, and the running back runs a 4.3. They have tremendous speed, and skill players. It's obvious our defense didn't have much experience defending an offense like that.
Florida is going to get Anthony Richardson back, and then they're gonna be even harder to beat. It absolutely wouldn't surprise me if we rematch Florida in Atlanta, and I believe this was a really solid road win.
Alabama's offense is still lethal, and hard to defend. I'm guilty of shitting on this offense pretty bad, but our offense jumped out of the gate vs. Florida and went up 21-3. We had a bad run at one point in the game with some key drops, but we drove down the field and scored when we had to in a hostile environment.
I say all of this to say that Alabama is still clearly the best team in the West, and it won't be at all surprising to me if we go undefeated in the regular season, and possibly beyond. If we make it out of the SEC undefeated, who can stop us? Is there any team outside of Alabama and Georgia who looks formidable right now?

Bamas offense picked on UFs defense when UF primarily went man to man in the 1st Q.
UF was able to “slow” Bama down by going more of a soft zone, while applying more pressure on Young.
Didn’t really stop Bama from scoring but it made things a lot more difficult and it gave UF a chance when it held Bama to the FG in the 4th Q.

Not sure how you could be confident in a team that you think lacks fire and has serious chemistry issues (no troll, serious question)? Or do you think those are gone/not as big an issue as previously thought?
I mean, you were pretty pissed, were you not?

I thought you were boycotting the season. Why are you watching games? Are you a libtard soyboy cuck CrimsonClover?

UF may very well go to Atlanta, but I have a hard time picturing them (or anybody else) rolling up 300+ yards on the ground against that UGA D. UF is a very good team, but THAT good? I doubt it. If the passing game gets just a little better, then we may have a ballgame.

If not now, then when CrimsonClover?

Folks on this board have thrown more dirt on Bama's grave than a Chinese Dam project. I'll believe it when I see it.
Young QB in a very hostile environment, early in the season. Mullen's O seems to give Saban heartburn.
If we learn how to defend the wheel route we'll see you in ATL!

I hate Bama with an abysmal forever burning passion; so it pains me to say this… but I agree with OP… Fans, and all the talking heads, are way over reacting to that game and the outcome.
Bama had the game put away before the second quarter even started. And it was a rout.
And even Nick Saban, the God of college football, showed us that once a team (college kids especially) runs away with such a huge lead so early; and realizes that the past week/weeks of practice and anticipation was all over hyped and that their opponent is clearly inferior; then it is hard to keep the same level of intensity and quality play for the entire 60 minutes. Becoming lackadaisical, and apathetic is only to be expected…
If you’ve watched CFB long enough; this has been proven time and time again. I can think of many examples. One of the first examples to come to my mind (and this isn’t hating on A&M it’s just the first one that popped up in my head) is when UCLA came back against TAMU…
This is one of the hardest challenges when it comes to coaching “amateurs” and learning to play a full game is a main part of a recruits maturation process while in college… Saban has repeatedly reminded us about this and this weekend proved what he has been harping about now for years….
One of the many reasons Saban is so successful and such a good coach is bc he is able to overcome that adversity and still get the dub. To me, and in my opinion, one of the signs of an excellent squad, is the ability to still get the W like Bama did Saturday…. To put this in example, imagine working and practicing your arse off for weeks for a game against your younger sibling. Knowing if you lose it’ll be completely embarrassing, and also knowing that your sibling has the full potential and capability to beat you. You can’t and won’t let it happen though. Then it comes time for said game and you immediately dominate and jump out to an enormous lead that you know is almost impossible for your sibling to come back from… so you ease up and coast for the remainder of the competition. Your sibling ends up making it close, but never once got the lead and also didn’t do enough to win either. Is your sibling better? I think it actually proves the opposite, honestly. Because at full intensity and effort, your opponent still wasn’t able to get a win, while you were semi coasting….
TL;DR: Imagine if Bama would have played with the intensity that UF played with, and did it for the entire 60 minutes. As shown and proven before even the second quarter; the score of that game would have been completely out of hand.

I think Alabama fans would have been less angry if Bama had come from 18 points behind to win versus surrendering most of an 18 point lead.

That LSU may lose to Bama and UF by a combined 75 points.
