Derrick Henry leads Alabama past Auburn

He has plenty of connections on the Florida roster, most of which date back to his high school career in Yulee, Fla. We’re a program on the rise, we’re a program that’s going to continue to get better.

Pressure is nothing new to Alabama, which has essentially had nine straight must-win games since losing to Mississippi.

Yulee, just north of Jacksonville, is just under two hours away from Gainesville.

The Tide is trying to become the first team to win back to back SEC titles since Tennessee in 1997 and 1998. “I respect his game”.

“It was not our intention to have Derrick Henry carry the ball 46 times in the game and 14 times in a row at the end”, Saban said.

“Still hope a lot of fans show support for the team, we’re not going to a bowl game as big as we would like, but we still have to support the team and show them what the Auburn family is about”, Lowmiller added.

I will be tuning in on the radio via in the internet and watching it on Twitter to see how Alabama do it this important game. “I really appreciate their effort”. I really when Tebow was there.

The line in this one seems to be spot on and while I see the Tide winning, I don’t see them just moving the football at will, it is just a mater of if Florida can move the ball at all. With running back Peyton Barber leading the way, Auburn drove inside the Alabama ten-yard-line. Tre Williams had the best luck, with 7 solo tackles, but this group was pushed back all game long, and most of the time secondary help was needed to stop Derrick Henry.

FRESH LONGHORN: Texas running back Chris Warren III had only 18 carries for 88 yards on the season before being pressed into action because of injuries in a 48-45 loss to Texas Tech.

Kicker Adam Griffith also had a big game for the Crimson Tide in his return to Jordan-Hare since the infamous “kick-six” game 2013. “I was happy to meet a guy from my area who did the things he did”. Florida has also played Arkansas twice and Auburn once when not facing the Tide. His 35 scoring passes tie him with Jason White, the 2003 Heisman victor, for the fifth-most by an Oklahoma quarterback in a single season. Both teams struggled in the red zone early, Alabama kicking five field goals, and Auburn two. “As a football purist, people should just sit down and watch how they play together. I look forward to working with coach Miles as he leads this team to a bowl game and another great recruiting class”. Demand for coaches will be high, and I think equaling the quality of anyone dumped will be hard at best.

Smart won the award in 2009. “Our team has created an opportunity for themselves”, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said at a press conference. I try to be a good graduate assistant wherever I can to sort of help him out.

In this era of concern over player safety it’s unbelievable few are questioning Saban over his use of Henry. “So he understands it and applies it in the game as well as anyone”. It’s been the defense that has allowed the Gators to make the SEC title game, allowing 14 points or less in eight of their 12 games. He has not allowed a sack in three consecutive weeks and graded out at 90 percent with one knockdown block. This will be the eighth time the two have played, showing that when one makes it, the other usually does too.

And in the event you missed one of the swing points in the game, Auburn picked up 30 yards in penalties on an Alabama drive in the second half, with quarterback Jake Coker being hit out of bounds and Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp getting flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.
