We’ve seen a few games this season where the box score really undersold Alabama’s efforts on offense—namely in games like Ole Miss and vAuburn, where the Tide moved the ball well enough early on, but those opportunities didn’t start turning into points until later in the game. In fact, we specifically looked at that trend last week in the Iron Bowl graphing review.
However, this SEC Championship Game win vs. Florida was, ahem, NOTHING like that: the early struggles were VERY real, and Florida more than hung around in the first half, from an efficiency and explosiveness perspective.
