“He’ll get a few snaps out there”, McElwain said Friday before taking his team through practice in the Georgia Dome. Alabama was starting to run away with the game.

It’s not just Harris who has struggled.
The favorite has covered the number in 4 of the past 5 games between the two teams. When asked for McElwain’s best attribute as a coach, Saban couldn’t just pick one. How will Florida handle Jones in those situations? The Hawkeyes’ schedule has been easier, but they haven’t exactly played the Little Sisters of the Poor.
It has the potential to be the most lopsided SEC title game in recent memory. It’s the first safety scored in an SEC game since 2003. He has 26 yards, eight carries, no touchdowns.
No. 2-ranked Alabama (12-1) evened the score at 4-4 in SEC title games against No. 18 Florida (10-3) and will maintain or improve their second-place standing in the College Football Playoff when the final rankings are announced on Sunday. He said, “The best fighter doesn’t always win the fight”. This should be four-down territory for the Gators. The Gators force a punt. Alabama had trailed 17-10 at halftime.
Florida goes 3-and-out again.
Derrick Henry did something he rarely does – fumble. Cyrus Jones was making Callaway work on the route.
This Florida Gators team has fought their way into this SEC Championship Game.
The oddsmakers say the Gators still have a long way to go. He’s become a key cog in Alabama’s defense.
The next year, Florida got its revenge 28-13. Henry has rushed for 1,797 yards this season, and he’s in striking distance of Herschel Walker’s SEC record of 1,891 rushing yards in a season.
Florida rushing is being led by Cronkrite.
November was particularly painful for the Florida offense, which barely did enough to beat Vanderbilt (9-7) and Florida Atlantic (20-14 in overtime).
Don’t worry Treon, you Gators will be able to face another great defense in the Capitol One Bowl or whatever you cares bowl you end up in 30 minutes form Gainesville. Looked woozy. Could be concussion.
In the second half, though, Alabama turned it on.
While McElwain now knows he made the right decision, he still lets his mind reminisce about his time at Alabama. And that came only after some stronger running in the second half.
Alabama has set the bar high for the rest of the Southeastern Conference.

Florida’s quarterback, Harris, apparently wasn’t impressed. The problem is that Florida can’t move the ball the length of a coffee table. The running back carried the ball 44 times for 189 yards and a touchdown – but that’s an average of 4.3 yards per rush, his third-smallest total of the season. He had 148 yards previous year against Missouri…. “You’ve got to hold on and wait for the boys to get there”. Alabama will start this possession at its 42. The team has 35 yards receiving, five catches, no touchdowns. Alabama is inside the red zone. Coker threw touchdown passes to Ar’Darius Stewart and Richard Mullaney. Squeezed it in the middle of coverage. It was more dramatic than it should’ve been, because that’s how every Tennessee game went for much of the season.
