Gators Have a Shot at Beating 'Bama Today

In just a few hours at this writing, the unranked-but-still-undefeated University of Florida football team has an opportunity to return to its glory days of the Urban Meyer era as it plays #2 ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa, with the kickoff slated at 3:30 PM.  Alabama isn't as strong as it has been in recent years, and the Gators are much improved from last year's dismal 4-8 team.  That having been said, Alabama is favored to win, and should win...but with that weird-shaped football and the way it bounces funny and sometimes unpredictably squirts out of players' grasps, anything might happen up there this afternoon.  I just hope that Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel has his confidence back with his passing, which had faltered measurably in the first half of last week's Kentucky game but came back at the end.  Also, I'd like to see their tenacious defense return and hope that their vulnerability to Kentucky in the second half was due to the opposition's talents and not their own shortfalls...
