Challenges for Florida
Every major ranking service believes Alabama is the best football team in America. However, after winning a pair of national titles back in 2011 and 2012, Alabama has not found a way to win back-to-back titles since. If that trend continues that means this season someone will take down the Tide. Why not Gators in Gainesville? Florida should take advantage of Alabama not so clean play. In the stat “Fewest Penalty Yards Per Game,” Alabama is ranked 122nd out of 130 teams. It’s going to be tough to knock down the Tide but it’s not impossible.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 2:30 PM CT (3:30 PM ET). You can watch this SEC football game on the CBS Network.
