they're already in place. itary going over their ad libs. adam is pointing at the tele-prompter . >> gary: the last two years, the dominance of this alabama defense. total yards rushing. for florida the last two years. five. last year they had 21. this year they're minus 16 and trying to get up out of the negative-yards territory. what's it going to take to knock off this alabama team in the final four of the playoffs? >> verne: 54-16. 3:19 to go. second down and three. it seems like hours ago that florida took a 7-0 lead and the excitement in this place was palpable. and now, for all but a few

hundred, the florida stands are empty. look at this tackle on mark thompson. we mentioned jalen hurts and the potential to be a true freshman to lead his team to a national championship. the only one who has ever done it, jamelle holloway. was a freshman at oklahoma when they won the national titles in the 1980's -- this is going to be the 25th win in a row for alabama. the all time record of consecutive wins bud wilkinson and oklahoma in the 1950's. they went to 47, and notre dame knocked them off. appleby, right side. c'yontai

levi wallace. >> gary: you hield like to have the two throws back, the second one i don't know if it was a miscommunication or not but all in all florida not quite good enough. you've got to help with the running game. you can't just have a passing game. you've got to have both. >> verne: up the middle. mark thompson. gang tackled. christian miller, number 47. appleby for the day -- remember, he started six of seven on that first touchdown drive that went 64 yards. >> gary: i think that first down bootleg. when they got the ball back on the 40 yard line, when he threw it over the middle of the field, if he had just tossed that away, e at was the one where he was was going to let it fly. i think the one hield like to have over was that one.

>> verne: second down, five. mark thompson gets the carry again. you've got the next generation of five-star recruits on the field now. >> gary: that's right, and there's going to be 25 more coming this year, of course. a process. one of nick saban's favorite phrases. >> verne: third down, two. final 35 seconds of the 25th s.e.c. championship game. and the alabama crimson tide are going to take a 5-4 lead in this head to head. look at nick, pumping his fist. he is really, really happy with this one, and here is his former

thing first-round d sure thing all american. >> verne: our napa play of the ga. it on the shoulders of minkah fitzpatrick. >> gary: ball underthrown, fitzpatrick gets it, and starts going he's too good of an athlete to stop. >> verne: he goes in. 44 yards. it's time to once again welcome our old friend eli gold. >> on a first-and-10 play, appleby looks, throws across the middle. intercepted. alabama. their second. taken by minkah fitzpatrick with blockers, down notoriety side, 20, hurtles a man at the 15, he is in, touchdown, alabama -- 44 yards on the crimson tide's second interception of the day. >> verne: always great to hear
