Tide’s power vs. Gators’ speed for SEC title

Don’t get caught up in a race with those Florida Gators, who can dart to the edges and wave goodbye if a defender doesn’t react awfully quick.

Then again, it might not be a good idea to try to go toe-to-toe with Alabama, which can pound teams into the ground with massive front lines and hard-nosed tailbacks.

Saturday’s Southeastern Conference championship game is shaping up as a classic showdown: Speed vs. Power. Although neither team is ready to concede the edge in either category.
