What some are calling the semifinal I am calling the most anticipated game in college football. Two of the best teams in college football go head to head. Alabama Crimson Tide (#1) against the Florida Gators (#2). I will have to say this is the FIRST time in my life I have ever pulled for Alabama. I did however expect to see a blow out with Florida’s speed being too much for Alabama to handle. Thankfully I was wrong with that and Alabama’s power held its own.
The first 3 and a half quarters it was neck to neck, I was on the edge of my seat the entire game. Then one play, one single sack turned everything around mid 4th quarter. John Parker Wilson was sacked by Jermaine Cunningham to force an Albama punt. This was the turning point in the game. Florida scored on the following drive increasing their 4 point lead to 11. Alabama comes back out on their next drive needing a quick score and an onside kick. John Parker Wilson gets pressured and tries to throw the ball away instead he throws the only interception of the game to Joe Haden, which seals the deal for Florida. Final score Florida 31, Alabama 20.
Now there’s a few questions. Will this win take Florida to the BCS National Championship game? Which team from the Big 12 will goto the game? Oklahoma or Texas? A win for Oklahoma today should send them, a loss should send Texas. Currently Oklahoma is up 3-0 against Mizzou in the Big 12 Championship. I am a small Texas fan so I have to pull for Mizzou here.
Tomorrow I will be working on a featured post over at Lincolnluxor previewing the BCS National Championship game. Adam Tate was nice enough to allow me this opportunity to write the artile, and I am very excited about it!
