Florida Gators fall in the SEC Championship to Alabama

The Florida Gators (8-2, 8-2) lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide (10-0, 10-0) in the SEC Championship game on Saturday.

Quarterback Kyle Trask had a good game and the Gators’ offense played well but the Crimson Tide was just too much.

The Gators defense that has struggled much of the year once again struggled against an Alabama team that has three legit Heisman contenders on its offense.
