The game didn't start out like Alabama fans wanted, a 65-yard touchdown pass to Debose on the first offensive play of the game, but by the second quarter, it was obvious that the Gators were going to have a difficult time on offense. By the end of the game, Florida only gained 15 yards on the ground and 222 yards overall, and the only reason they had positive rushing yards was a thrirtysomething-yard scramble by Driskell, the second-string QB, later in the game.
Overall, the Tide totaled 225 yards on the ground, with Richardson having a career game of 29 carries for 181 yards. The final score was 38-10.
The Tide didn't pass much because they really didn't have to. Then again, both Mrs. Nasty and I were getting frustrated in the third quarter since the Tide had good field position but didn't capitalize on putting the Gators away early. They seemed to fall into routine of passing on first down and then running plays on second and third downs. McCarron made a few long throws in the game, but he didn't connect with his receivers, which was frustrating. The offense was pretty vanilla until later in the game when Richardson was put into the wildcat. I think the only reason that happened was to offer something different to practice against for upcoming defenses.
Next up are the Vanderbilt Commodores, and the game will be in Bryant-Denny.
