Gators in a sea of red

NEW ORLEANS — After Wednesday’s practice at the Superdome, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham was once again asked about the similarities between the Utes and Florida and the ties with Urban Meyer.
Specifically, will the Crimson Tide see some things they saw in the SEC title game against the Gators?
‘There are a lot of similarities on both sides of the ball between (Utah) and Florida in terms of schematics. Their defensive schemes are very similar to what we run. Of course, Urban Meyer brought the spread offense to Utah and we have tweaked it each year — as (has Florida) in several directions, based on personnel. As far as similarities, I think they’re right on plan. There will be a lot of carry-over from the Florida game, as far as what (Alabama is) going to see scheme-wise.’
