Howdy Gators,

It’s a big one this week, and one can safely assume the atmosphere at Ben Hill will be raucous, and that the libation-fueled fans will have a massive influence on this game. Whether on the field, in the stadium or at the Gator Clubs (both East and Westside locationsJ), the Orange Blue Nation needs to show up for this one! Let’s show Alabama that not only will our team show up for this games, but so do our fans!

Last week we saw another game against Kentucky and, dare I say, another predictable win. Thankfully, this one was never really a contest, as the Gators held a hefty lead over the lowly Cats by the end of the first quarter. Once again, the running attack was unstoppable, rallying up 262 yards and demonstrating that it’s almost undoubtedly the speediest backfield in the NCAA. Quite honestly, I don’t know how you defend against Rainey, Demps, et al, and I am sure the rest of the SEC defensive coordinators don’t have a clear idea either.

Certainly the Gators have looked very impressive in the early stages of the Muschamp regime, but we all know the games leading up to this weekend have been mere primers. Quite nice to be 2-0 in the SEC East, but now we have to face perhaps the best team from the seemingly stronger West division. I must admit I was skeptical about Alabama in the early stages of their game against Arkansas last weekend (their QB seems a bit, oh well, Brantley-like), but my doubts were quickly diffused when I saw the speed of their defense and the power of Trent Richardson. Surely they must be fallible in some respect, but no other team has yet to reveal any shortcomings.

And that’s where the Gators come in! We will have to play a nearly flawless game to beat The Tide, but our backs may be just too fast, even for the swift defense of Alabama, to stop from turning the corner and breaking a big one. And of course our Defense is nothing to sneeze at either. They continue to dominate in all phases (dumb penalties being the exception) and should be extremely amped for the night game in Gainesville.

Go Gators,

Courtney
