Survive and advance – that’s the mantra coaches often invoke during March Madness. But SBN’s Alligator Army points out that in the year-long tournament that is college football, the same logic applies. From Alligator Army:
SBN’s Alligator Army: It’s All About Survive and Advance
In the season long college football tournament, sometimes it is all about survive and advance. Today was the day as the Florida offense decided to put the ball on the ground four times and the Florida defense was so worn down in the 4th quarter that they could not see straight. The Gators 23-20 win over Arkansas was not pretty and it may cost them the No. 1 spot, but that doesn’t matter. Your boys are 6-0 and Pasadena is still an attainable goal. Arkansas gave us all we could handle and more, and they might be the most improved team in the SEC. But the Gators played like defending champions, unwilling (at least right now) to let anyone take their crown.
Alabama certainly looks like a stronger club right now, but fortunately for the Gators, they don’t need to worry about that. All they need to worry about is being better for a potential SEC championship showdown.
