Actually I think they will fare better against the bammers with Harris than Grier. Harris can run the ball and throws better when rolled out. They aren't much for between the tackles running. Still don't think they win it, but I see it as a 1-2 score game.

Senior vote to determine SEC Championship status for suspended Gators WR Demarcus Robinson

Just hours before kicking off against in-state rival Florida State, Florida announced wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had been suspended for the game for a violation of a unspecified team rule. Now, as the Gators prepare to take on Alabama in this week’s SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, the status of Robinson has yet to be determined. Florida head coach Jim McElwain says he will leave Robinson’s fate in the hands of his teammates, or at least the seniors.

“I’m going to visit with the seniors. They’ll determine which direction we’ll go,” McElwain said Monday, according to The Gainesville Sun.

“Look, he made a choice, OK. He made a choice,” McElwain said. “You know what, our family needs to make this decision and those guys are the leaders of our family.”

McElwain’s leaving a player’s fate up to the team is certainly not unprecedented. Les Miles of LSU was criticized at length for allowing the fate of players be handled by a team vote. There are pros and cons to allowing such decisions be handled in such a manner, and there may be no right way to go about it. On one hand, a coach allowing players to make these types of decisions may show trust in a team’s leaders, which can be good for morale and establishing trust. On the other hand, it may lead to players having their way and being disgruntled with a coach’s decision if they do not get a say. Of course, McElwian already stepped his foot down for the Florida State game.

Must be a SEC thing...Total "COP OUT" by SEC coaches on not enforcing a suspension of star players for violations of team rules for a big game, i.e. let the players vote on it!!!

‘Reinstated’ by Gator teammates, Demarcus Robinson will play in SEC title game

While Florida’s seniors voted to allow suspended wide receiver Demarcus Robinson to return to the team earlier this week, head coach Jim McElwain was non-committal when it came to the junior actually seeing the field this weekend. In the end, not surprisingly, Robinson will — although how much remains to be seen.
