Here is a taste of what you may have not known about Alabama and Florida going into the tomorrow’s game.

Alabama’s offense is averaging 6.9 yards per play, which leads the SEC. Last year, three SEC teams were above 6.9 yards per play -- Auburn (7.4), Arkansas (7.1) and Alabama (7.0).
Alabama has allowed only four plays of 20 or more yards this season, which is tied for second nationally.
The Tide is also one of eight FBS teams to not allow a rushing play of 20-plus yards this season. They are 4th in rush yards allowed overall.
Alabama is 2nd in points per game allowed.
Florida leads the SEC and is tied for seventh nationally with only two sacks allowed in four games this season.
Saturday marks the first game between Alabama and Florida since 2006 that one isn't ranked No. 1 in the nation. This will also be the 14th straight game between the two in which one is ranked in the top 10 (every game since 1990).
Florida leads the nation in opponents’ third-down conversions. The Gator defense has allowed opponents to convert just 21.1 percent of their third downs (11 of 52).

Alabama Florida game always seems to be a great game, and the facts are simply the facts of the past. As Coach Saban often emphasizes, past success does not determine future success. Taking it one play at a time in the swamp, 11 players on each snap giving it 100% is the only way that Alabama can win this tough road game. It won't be easy, but I know for a "fact" that Coach Saban will have them mentally and physically ready to play in the Swamp!

Stomp the Gators!

ROLL TIDE!
