WV QB is way smarter and a better passer than JD. Sad to say but true.

WV took a kick to the house against Bama and threw for 365 yards. I think we are better than a lot of people think and Bama is not as powerful as everyone thinks.

Driskel's accuracy is our key. Will he be hurried too frequently ? That will throw off his steadiness even times
he's not rushed. Here's hoping DRob can stay magical … and Christy too.

They brought extra guys against Oklahoma many plays and they still burned Bama.
It is hard to see Jeff doing that

He always says that, right before the beat down commences.

Saban also said Will was a real good head coach that had just been dealt a bad hand.

Nay say all some of you guys want, I would rather be wrong by rooting for my team than chalking it up as a loss. But I believe we will win this game. If I am wrong, fine, but I do not think I will be. We match up way better than most think. We have a ton of talent and Nick knows that. We will be the most talented team they have seen so far this year. Go Gators!

So do you think Saban doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to football? :popcorn:

I think Saban likes Will especially as a DC

Probably true.

[h=1]Perception vs Reality in the SEC: Week 4[/h] [h=3]PERCEPTION: ALABAMA WILL SMOKE FLORIDA, FURTHER PUSH THE EAST INTO OBLIVION[/h] The Crimson Tide offense is averaging 568.3 yards per game under Lane Kiffin as its new coordinator, more than 100 yards better than its per game totals each of the last six seasons. Alabama’s stuck to its guns in getting the football to the nation’s leading receiver in Amari Cooper and simplified its passing game into quick, low-risk throws for first-year starting quarterback Blake Sims. We haven’t even mentioned a run game that has already produced 10 touchdowns even though junior T.J. Yeldon’s been relatively quiet. How does Florida, a projected third-place finisher in the East coming off a three-overtime win over Kentucky, topple the conference favorite on the road with these variables?

[h=3]REALITY: GATORS PRESENT TOUGHEST CHALLENGE YET, ESPECIALLY OFFENSIVELY[/h] Not so fast. Alabama’s secondary is its weakest link, one of two SEC units that hasn’t yet picked off a pass this season. The Gators have a field stretcher in Demarcus Robinson that they can use to frustrate Alabama, but only if there’s a stubborn focus on moving the football on the ground. Kirby Smart’s defense is particularly dominant against the run giving up a league-low 47 yards per game, so it’ll be up to Florida’s offensive line to get something going at the point of attack in Tuscaloosa. Florida’s defense will be the toughest Alabama has seen thus far, another reason this game could down to the wire.

And that's what worries me the most.

Our O line is probably better suited for run blocking but you know Bama is going to have 8 near the line until we show them we can pass the ball more than a few yards consistently on them so I doubt there are many holes for long runs until we show them we can do that. Bama may have that great stat against the run up until now but a lot of that is who they have played and even WV isn't a real good running team. This definitely isn't the Bama defense that stuffed teams in 2011 and 2012.

I truly believe we can win. Sitting there last week, there were many times that I thought we'd lose. I came away seeing the positives that I wasn't willing to embrace at that moment. I'm pretty stoked to watch how this plays out on the field tomorrow. We'll learn a lot about our team in Tuscaloosa and whether we're improving or not.

[h=2]Saban: Florida Is 'Way Better Than Anybody Here Thinks'[/h] 17 hours ago
When talking about Florida at his mid-week press conference, Nick Saban was almost lecturing the media in attendance and anyone watching.
The Crimson Tide are a 15-point favorite this weekend, and the Gators are coming off a triple-overtime win against Kentucky, but Saban was adamant in his belief that Florida can beat Alabama if his team isn’t ready to play.
“Florida has an outstanding team. Way better, way better than anybody here thinks, in terms of the players they have,” Saban said. “They lost a lot of players due to injury last year. They’ve got a lot of players back that are very, very good players. Regardless of what anybody thinks, they’ll be as talented as probably anybody that we play this year.
“It’s going to be important that our players play their very best. We’re looking forward to having the opportunity to play at home against a very good SEC opponent on national television. We’re just going to try to keep doing what we need to do to get our players ready to go.”
The Crimson Tide and Gators kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

​
like you can believe anything saban says "propaganda"
