'Bama flexes its muscles, while Florida limps to finish

[pmull]

CBS Sports article by Tony Barnhart:

No, this SEC showdown came down to one simple and undeniable fact: Alabama had Courtney Upshaw and Trent Richardson and Florida did not.

Richardson, a junior from Emmitt Smith's old high school (Escambia) in Pensacola, was simply a force of nature carrying the football 29 times for career-high 181 yards against a defense that was ranked fifth nationally against the run, giving up only 56.5 yards rushing per game. Richardson had 60 yards at end of the first quarter.

But it was Upshaw, the senior from Eufaula, Ala., who made the two plays that completely changed this game and fueled Alabama's 38-10 victory over the upset-minded Gators.

"We wanted to come into this kind of atmosphere and show that we're a good football team," Upshaw said. "And I believe we did that."

"Also, I can't say enough about how we controlled the line of scrimmage," Saban said. "Trent obviously did a great job of running the ball. But he'll be the first to tell you that our offensive line really played well tonight."
