Alabama a 9 point favorite with the total of 45.5 and I believe the Tide will cover the number. Alabama got a run through of the spread offense by Florida and they've got 10 times the O as Utah. Also, when it comes to prep time, Saban is a major stud. Saban’s team led by a combined score of 94-20 at the half. Against super-fast Florida in TY’s SEC championship, Bama overcame a 17-10 deficit at the half to lead 20-17 in the fourth quarter before Tim Tebow’s extraordinary heroics.

On the other hand, Utah will have a hard time, as did many other teams, containing Alabama's wicked running game with RBs Glen
Coffee, Mark Ingram & Roy Upchurch pounding out a combined 2399 yards and 5.8 ypc. 6-4 frosh Julio Jones (51 recs.) is likely to be the best WR Utah has faced all season. And while QB J.P. Wilson (57.7%) is not sensational, he has learned how to care for the ball (only 6 ints.). CB Javier Arenas (2 PR TDs) is one of the top return men in the country, helping the Tide tie for the lead in defense & STs TDs TY with eight.
