This was a good week for us. A championship team usually has a few stars, and solid players elsewhere, with no real holes. So far, this class has no gaping holes in it. Everyone looks like they'll be at least solid.
OTHER SEC ACTION THIS WEEK
UT 34, LSU 10
Ol' Miss 37, Vandy 17
Kentucky 12, Mississippi St. 10
OUR GAME: #7 Florida (7-1) (-6) at #12 Alabama (7-1) [TV2]
It wasn't pretty, but we get a big, big win at home over the Gators! Harrison threw for 383 yards, 5 TD's and 5 INT's on the day, and Florida had four turnovers as well. The win sews up the SEC West for us, and also virtually assures us that we don't have to play Florida--probably the best team in the SEC this year--in the SEC Championship game.
