The number 1 Florida Gators have come and gone (thankfully). Now they Cats play host (hopefully not so nice this time) to the third ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. If you want to sound like you know what you're talking about when discussing the game with your friends, study these numbers. They will go along way in making you sound knowledgeable.
Alabama National Rankings
Total Offense - 8th, 490.5 Yds/G
Rushing Offense - 10th, 234.25
Passing Offense - 33rd, 256.25
Passing Efficiency - 5th, 169.03
Scoring Offense - 9th, 40.5
Total Defense - 2nd, 202.5 Yds/G
Rushing Defense - 2nd, 47.25
Passing Defense - 15th, 155.25
Passing Efficiency - 18th, 95.99
Scoring Defense - 13th, 13.0
Greg McElroy - 63-93, 938 Yards, 7 TDs, 1 Int
Mark Ingram - 61 carries, 347 Yards, 5.7 Avg, 4 TDs
Trent Richardson - 38 carries, 280 Yards, 7.4 Avg, 4 TDs
Terry Grant - 40 carries, 166 Yards, 4.2 Avg, 3 TDs
Mark Ingram - 13 catches, 141 Yards, 10.8 Avg, 3 TDs
Marquis Maze - 8 catches, 194 Yards, 24.2 Avg, 2 TDs
Mike McCoy - 8 catches, 138 Yards, 17.2 Avg, TD
Julio Jones - 7 catches, 120 Yards, TD
Thoughts - Rich Brooks said the only positive thing about facing Alabama instead of Florida is they are easier to scout. They run a more standard offense. He also said that Alabama's physical style of play on both sides of the ball will test UK's manhood. The Crimson Tide are tough to stop because they can beat you either on the ground or through the air. They have several deep receiving threats and have 3 backs who can put up big yards on the ground. This will be a test of wills up front and at the linebacker position for UK. The Cats held 'Bama to 10 points of offense last season, but Rich Brooks also said that game has nothing to do with this years game.
UK is taking one interesting step this week. They are using their first string offense against their first string defense. That doesn't happen often at Kentucky. "We had a lot of 'ones' vs. 'ones,'" Coach Rich Brooks said. "We'll find out (if it went well) on Saturday."
Well said coach.

After six years of separation, a dog and its rightful owner were united after it disappeared from a Pomona, Calif., home.
Princess, a Bichon Frise, had been roaming backyard of her owner April Allen's home in February of 2006. The dog managed to dig a hole and escape. It was two hours later Allen discovered the hole.
"She was outside in the backyard playing with my friend's little dog," Allen told ABC News. "We were inside and next thing you know they were gone."
Both dogs had escaped the back yard.
"I made flyers and all that, but I never found her. That was it," said Allen. "What could I do? I only had her about nine months when she got away."
But around a week and a half ago, Allen got a surprising phone call. The pound had Princess and was able to find Allen's contact information on the chip implanted in her dog.
"I was like, no way, oh my gosh, that's crazy!" Allen said. "I just couldn't believe it. Almost six years later you never would've thought getting a call like that."
Yolanda Gutierrez, along with her daughter, found a shaggy-looking Princess in Riverside. Allen had got in contact with Gutierrez, and next thing she knew she was on her way to Riverside to pick up her lost dog.
"As soon as I got to her house, princess jumped on my lap," said Allen with excitement. "She remembered me, it was just crazy."
Allen believes someone might have driven Princess from Pomona to Riverside and had become homeless most recently. The now 7-year-old dog looked the same, but with a shaggier look and much more plump.
"Yeah she's a fatty, I call her miss piggy."
Animal Services Director Robert Miller said in a statement that more happy reunions like this can happen if dog owners make sure their dog is microchipped.
"We hope that one day every pet will have a chip, ensuring all of us of even more happy reunions," Miller said.
