The No. 11 Gators did just about everything they needed to do to knock off No. 1 Alabama in the Swamp on Saturday night.
They not only won the line of scrimmage against a team that prides itself on being the bully in the SEC, but they dominated the line of scrimmage. Florida outrushed Alabama 258-91 and averaged six yards per carry in the process.
Quarterback Emory Jones looked much more confident, comfortable and accurate than he did in the first two games of the season. He completed 17 of 27 passes for 181 yards and rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries in the finest game of his career.
