ATLANTA -- It never really seemed like Alabama's SEC title hopes were in doubt on Saturday. As field goals eventually gave way to touchdowns and Alabama's defense dominated drive after drive, No. 2 Alabama (12-1, 7-1 SEC) wore down No. 18 Florida (10-3, 7-1) for a 29-15 win that felt much more lopsided.
For Alabama, even the uglier wins look commanding. The formula for Alabama's success is simple: Win by any means necessary, and be as physically imposing as possible.
“We prepare like nobody’s going to be able to outwork us, especially at the end of the game," running back Kenyan Drake said.
