Talk about surviving

Wow....I think I almost peed my pants watching the last 3 minutes of the Alabama game. Phewww, we made it.
Okay, here's the deal. We have got to start picking up our offense again. At the beginning of the season, McElroy was doing so well. Now, he's disappeared. It's so frustrating to see our team get into the red zone, time and time again, and then settle for a field goal. If we want to build confidence in ourselves, we have got to pick it up.
Now for my time to disagree with a lot of the reports out there right now. The media is so fickle. One minute, they love us and hate florida. Now, it's all about Florida and Texas and we are the questionable one. Ughhh. Bottom line: we won.
Nick Saban described it best:
"You talk about how fragile a season is," "You're controlling a game, even though you may say it's winning ugly. We're still ahead 12-3 and totally controlling the game with 3 minutes, 29 seconds and the ball. That's how fragile a season can be. You make one mistake and you have to go overcome it. I hope that there's a lot of lessons our team can learn from this."

While the score was not high, and while it wasn't a blow out, if you watched the entire game, you'll remember that we were winning pretty easily. They only had 3 points as of the 4th quarter. We had stopped them from even getting a field goal on several long drives. Then, everything went wrong. Fumble-touchdown-onside kick.....every single thing that could go wrong, did. But we held on, and that's what matters.
So remember that AP people. They keep saying, "Alabama can't play like that if they want to beat Florida"....um, after their Tennessee and Arkansas game the press were saying the exact same thing about Florida. Typical. Roll Tide.
