GAINESVILLE, Fla. – On Saturday afternoon, the University of Florida’s venerable Ben Hill Griffin Stadium will percolate with passion when the Gators host a rare regular-season matchup with Alabama. It’s the first time the two programs have played in The Swamp since 2011, and the game could serve as a bellwether to how the SEC will look in its next iteration.
The game between the No. 11 Gators and No. 1 Alabama offers a rematch of the wild SEC championship game from last season, the biggest test for Alabama sophomore quarterback Bryce Young and a potential breakout game for Florida backup quarterback Anthony Richardson.
