After a 42-20 win over South Florida on Saturday, the Gators return to Gainesville for the biggest home game the team has had in years. The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide come to town, and Florida hasn’t defeated ‘Bama since the 2008 SEC Championship game, losing the last seven contests in the series.
Most recently, the squads faced in the SEC Championship last December when Alabama earned a 52-46 victory en route to a national championship. This year’s Crimson Tide don’t seem to have skipped a beat, as they are 2-0 under new starter Bryce Young, a former five-star recruit, with a dominating win in Week 1 over a ranked Miami team.
To get the skinny on Alabama, we reached out to Stacey Blackwood of Roll Tide Wire to gauge his thoughts on the matchup with the Gators on Saturday. Here are his takes about the game.
