Tide Miscues Especially Painful

Summary


"The fake is based on a look, and they weren't in the right look for us to run it," [Nick Saban] said. "We should have kicked the field goal. It was probably the limit of his range, but it was a little bit too close in there to be punting."

"The fake field goal and Javi's mistake was the difference in the first half," Saban said. "We can't give them that. We can't give them good field position. They scored 10 points off of that."

"I couldn't imagine it being any better than this," Gators receiver David Nelson said. "Our fans were great, and their fans were great."

Alabama's 13-game winning streak was its longest since winning 28 straight from 1991-93. ... Glen Coffee rushed for 112 yards and Julio Jones had 124 receiving yards, making Alabama just the third team to produce a 100-yard rusher and receiver in the SEC title game (Alabama did it with Derrick Lassic and David Palmer in 1992, and Tennessee did it with Jamal Lewis and Marcus Nash in 1997). ... Coffee has 1,347 yards this season and needs 125 in a bowl to break the single-season record set by Bobby Humphrey in 1986. ... Jones has 847 receiving yards, the fourth-best season in Tide history. ... Alabama still holds a 21-14 series lead against Florida but trails 4-2 in SEC title games.
