Remember When

At this point Florida is favored to beat Alabama in the SEC championship game by 10 points on Saturday.

I just want to know why everyone is favoring Florida over Alabama at this point. I know Tim Tebow and the Gator offense looks unstoppable at this point. But has everyone forgot that Alabama has one of the best defenses in the country.

This reminds when Alabama played Miami for the national championship game at the Sugar bowl in 1993.

Miami was a huge favored over Alabama and the players reminded everyone that they were favored. Lamar Thomas, who became famous for other reasons, talk the most amount of trash. One thing though, that Alabama team had one of the best defenses in the country.

During the game Thomas caught a long ball from Gino Torretta, who famously told his teammates to carry him to Marshall Faulk to tell him the Heisman was coming with him, then was stripped of the ball from George Teague.

The Alabama defense dominated a great offensive Miami team and end up winning the game 34-13. The Crimson Tide made Miami eat their words.

While Florida hasn't been talking the smack like Miami, the media sure has. Everyone in the media has been talking about Tim Tebow and the Florida offense. They are forgetting that Alabama is ranked number one, and has Nick Saban as their coach. Alabama's defense will win this game for the Crimson Tide.

So we need to think back and remember to never turn your backs to Alabama.
