This game is going about like I expected. ‘Bama is playing with the right combination of emotion and discipline. They look like they expect to win the game while the Gators look like they thought they’d win the game. Big difference.
Tebow will look very human before this one is over. He’s had a fantastic college career- but let’s be honest, he’s had some of the best talent in the country to play with. He’s not a very good passing quarterback and if ‘Bama can continue to take away the running game or limit it’s effectiveness they’ll win convincingly. His Heisman hopes will be done after today.
That said, the way the game is going I still see a chance for Florida to compete in this game. If that’s going to happen, then it won’t be until after the half and the coaches have a chance to settle them down.
UPDATE: Hmmm. Tebow showed a little something there prior to the half. Could end up being a thriller yet. Count me as pleasantly surprised.
UPDATE 2: Looks like the Tide is starting to roll… 26-13 and driving.
LAST UPDATE: This game is done. It’s 32-13 with 13 minutes to play. Tebow can’t pass them back into this one. He’s not that kind of QB.
