Gators QB Anthony Richardson has the tools to be Alabama Crimson Tide’s kryptonite

1. Quarterback Anthony Richardson has the skill set to give the Gators a shot against Alabama — if the spectacular redshirt freshman is 100%.

Coach Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide are not challenged often. The rare times the Crimson Tide stumble, a mobile, strong-armed quarterback proves to be their kryptonite.

The dual-threat, big-play abilities of Johnny Manziel, Cardale Jones, Chad Kelly, Deshaun Watson and Joe Burrow carried their teams past Saban’s soul-crushing football machine during the past decade.

For the second straight week, Richardson played four series. Two of them lasted a single play, ending in touchdowns — a 75-yard pass and an 80-yard run.
