Notes and thoughts from the Rebels’ 38-10 loss to Florida …
I was willing to excuse some obvious flaws against Vanderbilt, flaws like pass coverage where Tony Conner would have helped, an inability to run the ball consistently and a pocket that seemed to be collapsing quickly.
Those same issues were there against Florida, and it’s not surprising they weren’t corrected, because Florida is a much better defense.
The Gators are quicker in the front seven than Alabama and cover better in the secondary.
I was forgiving against Vanderbilt, because the Rebels were coming off such an emotional win in Tuscaloosa, and because Vanderbilt is indeed improved.
