Alabama vs. Florida - Question for Bama Fans

I watched some of this game but was not locked in so I missed most of the plays in the second half.
My biggest questions for Bama fans are how did Florida manage to move the ball and score while being so one dimensional?
What did Florida defense do to shut down that offense in the second quarter through the end of the game?
Ole Miss had 2 100 yard rushers (Conner and Ealy had over 120 each) in last year's game, and both are back this year. It would be concerning to me that Florida was able to score 29 points with a QB who finished with 195 yards and an INT, and 0 TDs. Ole Miss seems to have a much more complete offense than Florida.

We did it last year, too, but it was the other dimension :)
I think trading defense for offense has been a pretty consistent trend for Bama.

I should note that it doesn't seem to matter, Bama keeps winning.
I doubt they're "concerned."

Every game is different.
The rhythm of that game was a quick 21-3 lead.
Bama held on for victory.
This made Saban upset because the team kind of peaked early and did not “win their one on one matchups” after the first quarter.
The team looked sharp against Southern Miss. I bet Young runs some for Bama since he has not really run much yet.

Mullen got our inside linebackers all confused-out of position. I fully expect Kiffin to go right at these two guys and a few of the corner 50-50 bombs

We were confused as hell playing the read option for some unknown reason. Mullen had a great scheme, found something that worked and pounded us with it.

Well, they didn't. They shut us down for 3 straight drives in the 2nd quarter. We only had 3 2nd half drives and all 3 were successful.
Our 2nd half drives went
- 13 plays, 75 yards, TD
- 14 plays, 64 yards, FG
- 6 plays, 18 yards, ran out the clock
1st Qtr
- 8 play, 75 yd, TD
- 7 play, 75 yd, TD
- 6 play, 38 yd, TD
2nd Qtr
- 3 play, -12 yd, Punt
- 3 play, 5 yd, Punt
- 3 play, 5 yd, Punt
3rd Qtr
- 13 play, 75 yd, TD
4th Qtr
- 14 play, 64 yd, FG
- 6 play, 18 yd, Run out Clock

Their OL pretty much dominated our DL, combined with poor tackling.

How good is your OLine?

They held their ground but their running success wasn't because they were blowing us off the ball, it was because our LBs were making the wrong reads and Safeties were late/missing tackles.
They had minimal success on regular run plays (like 3 YPA). They had tons of success on the read option (like 8 YPA), and almost all of those were due to LB/S slow reads, misreads or running themselves out of the play. Mullen found something that was working and kept doing it until we figured it out - we never did.

Bama penalties caused 3 consecutive 3 & outs in the 2nd quarter, which along with heat & humidity wore down Bama's D some. Critical Bama mistakes on 3rd & long plays kept UF's drives & momentum going. Bama scored on almost all of their few 2nd-half possessions.

Saban had mention in the press conf. that To"oto'o (MLB)was over correcting a lot of the defensive play calls. Meaning he was so worried about getting everybody in perfect spot that he ended up out of position many times.

Our Defense ran 2 DL for most of the game which in essence was a 2-4-5 defense. Not really something I was excited about as they didnt seem to be able to stop the running game and our ILB were confused most of the game. IMO our DL this year are good but not elite, they have experience but none are 1st rounders that are explosive. Our Corner play is OK and our Safety place is adequate.
Pretty much the same with our OL, it is adequate expect for our LT. Our WR are a drop-off from the last two years but was expected and I believe that they are coming into their own, glad for the OSU transfer. Running backs once again are SEC good but nothing like DH, Najee, Mark Ingram that could just take over a game. Pleasantly surprised with our QB as he seems pretty cool under pressure and looks the part.
FL came out a little flat in the first half but got the momentum and rode with it. Emory looked like a NFL QB but really the last two years we have made several look like that with our porous Defense.
Should be a good game with OM and will set the tone for the rest of the year for us.

Which QBs are you referring to here?

Basically our MLB's had a really, really bad game. I'd be surprised if they do that again this season, but anything is possible.

Yep - our ILB/S seem to start second guessing themselves and they never recovered. Considering they are keys in the Ole Miss game, you could either say it's good that happened because they'll be adjusted and ready OR it's bad because it showed they can't adjust on the fly and mentally re-engage themselves once some things work against them.
Not really sure which one the answer is, but we'll definitely find out Saturday.

While not a Grantham fan this was the best game i have seen him call. Ran a ton of DL stunts and slants that mind farked the OL.
TBH this is the youngest team CNS has ever had. young the first year QB has had to assume the leadership role on O.
While I am not a golding fan, i think you will see better execution from the D vs OM. OM will score some points but i think the D will get several stops

Corral, Trask, and Burrow are the only 3 QBs I can think of that have looked great against our defense the past 2 seasons. I guess we can go back to the National Championship games against Clemson and include Lawrence.

I choose to believe it's a good thing as it exposed the weakness and gave us a couple of weeks of practice to work on it.
We'll see.

Mullens was able to get our linebackers to overflow trying to get into the A and B gaps to stop runs up the middle.... Which caused us to lose containment on the ends.
Florida also mixed in enough passes to keep the linebackers second guessing themselves over the middle. When we had them in 3rd or long it was either missed tackles or penalties.
We also had a few untimely false penalties that killed second quarter drives.
