I think the key for Florida to win is to hold onto the ball and to attack with the run game. The keys for Alabama will be to force Brantley into making mistakes, and winning the field position war through good special teams play.
I see the Bama defense causing too many problems for Florida. Not only will that force turn overs, but we are so deep that there will be fresh guys on the field for most of the game. Weiss and Muschamp will be out couched and out manned when it comes to the Gators O vs Bama's D. As far as Bama scoring, as I said, we will have to win the special teams battle, but I do not see Florida keeping Richardson and Lacey under wraps. I said this in another thread, but I believe the Richardson/Lacey combo is way more deadly than Ingram/Richardson of 2010 and to a lesser extent 2011.
