When Bama started blitzing the starting QB, he started making bad throws. Lots of pressure. Yes, they gave up some passes, but not another long TD pass.

They actually backed off blitzing a bit in the 3rd, probably figuring FLA would try to run more (which they did).

All I know is Florida scored the first 10 points in the first quarter, and nothing afterwards. So Bamas defense did something right. That kid may be a freshman, but he's going to be really good in time. Really good!
