College football analysts and Florida fans alike don't give the Gators much of a chance to beat the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game. That's partly due to Alabama's incredible defense, Florida's horrific offense and the desecration of Florida's vaunted defense due to injuries.

Well, it seems that some major contributors and key defenders on the team could be playing today against Alabama despite their "doubtful" designations earlier in the week.
Jarrad Davis, Duke Dawson and Nick Washington not in starting lineup for #Gators. All went through pre-game warmups, though.

Bryan Cox Jr is on the field as well. He's running around fine.

However, here are the starters on defense for the game:
#Gators announced starters (defense)
DL:K. Davis, Ivie, Brantley, Jefferson
LB: McMillian, Reese, Johnson
DB: Wilson, Tabor, Gardner, Harris— Jordan McPherson (@J_McPherson1126) December 3, 2016
Having those guys back on the defensive line as well as at the linebacker spots would be huge and could spell some rest for those starters. They will undoubtedly need it with the amount of time they'll spend on the field after the offense goes through some bouts of 3-and-outs.
