GAINESVILLE — Florida pushed Alabama harder than any team during the Crimson Tide’s unbeaten run to the 2020 national title.
But the Gators could not complete a furious comeback during a thrilling 52-46 loss in the SEC championship, Alabama’s only win last season by fewer than 15 points. When Nick Saban’s squad visits the Swamp, Dan Mullen’s program aims to prove the performance was its first challenge of many to the Crimson Tide’s conference superiority.
The 2021 team are two very different versions, particularly at the skill positions on offense. Yet, high-level talent and speed, along with high-quality coaching are a given when these two coaches and programs meet.
