Florida pulled out old pages of its playbook for an impressive opening drive against Alabama.
Florida Answers Alabama With Long Drive, Gets Picked On Jump Pass
The improvised John Brantley run worked. The option worked. The deep pass to Deonte Thompson worked. The reverse to Omarius Hines worked. But the jump pass didn’t.
On fourth down from the Alabama 1, Trey Burton, listed as an “athlete” on a CBS graphic, took a snap and tried to find Jordan Reed, a tight end originally recruited as a quarterback, on the play made famous by former Gator Tim Tebow, but Nico Johnson read it and picked it off in the end zone.
Alabama still leads, 3-0.
