When Florida’s center, Maurkice Pouncey, was questioned about it in this weeks press conference, his answers tell a lot of how this story will end.

Q. Have you played anybody like Cody this year, as wide as he is or as low to the ground as he is?

MAURKICE POUNCEY: Not that I can say, but we play great players every week, though.

Q. On film what do you see? When guys have success against him, what do they do?

MAURKICE POUNCEY: What did you say?

Q. When guys have success against Cody, what do they do?

MAURKICE POUNCEY: I don’t know, just go out there and play hard, get physical with him. He’s a great player, great athlete, and we’ve just got to go out there and play physical.

Coach Meyer, here’s a prime example of a unit "thinking it is a physical group, but not understanding how much of a physical front they are about to face."

I love...

…the uncertainty he shows when asked about others having ‘success’ against Cody.

Um…what did you say?

Sounds to me,

like a guy who has watched surprisingly little game film of Cody.

Or watched a lot...

…and saw nobody having success vs. Cody.

He’s being careful not to give any BB material to Bama. They are given guidelines on the type of comments they can make. He is simply showing respect for Cody, a great player. I don’t see how you can derive anything negative from this.

(By the way, the Pouncey twins are a force of nature. This will be Cody’s stiffest challenge.)
