Alabama Football has had its way with the Florida Gators in the first half. There are two quarters to go but teams never do well when spotting a No. 1 ranked opponent a 21-3 lead. Not having half of his two-quarterback duo has been a major problem for Dan Mullen.
Early on the Swamp noise affected the Alabama Crimson Tide. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is a legitimately difficult setting for opposing teams. The crowd advantage was not enough to bolster Todd Grantham’s Florida defense. First-quarter scoring for the Crimson Tide came on touchdown drives of 75, 75 and 38 yards.
