The rundown

As a rematch of the 2020 SEC Championship Game, the Florida Gators are looking to avenge their 52-46 loss to Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide.

Losing seven consecutive matchups, the Gators welcome the Crimson Tide to a hostile Swamp environment with the belief that they can shake up the landscape of college football.

Meanwhile, the Tide looks to continue its dominance over the Gators.

To contend with the high-scoring attack that Bryce Young and Alabama employ, Florida will look to control the clock with their resurrected run game. 

Depending on Malik Davis, Dameon Pierce and both quarterbacks — Emory Jones and Anthony Richardson — in rotation, if UF can operate in a way that dictates the pace of the game, their chances exponentially increase.

As heavy underdogs, the Gators will be forced to execute on nearly every play to take down the Tide. A task that is easier said than done.
