Both teams can throw three quality tailbacks at the opposing defenses.įlorida leaned heavily on its tight ends last season White has seven touchdowns so far this season. Emory Jones has 495 rushing yards compared to Zamir White’s 400 yards for Georgia. … although we aren’t sure how much he will play in this one. Daniels has thrown 71 times in three games while Bennett has thrown 82 times in five games as Georgia has started to lean on the run game more.įlorida has the leading rusher going into the game Stetson Bennett, the losing quarterback in this game a year ago, has started since JT Daniels went down with an oblique injury. … and we assume that all four of them will play. We don’t know the starters at quarterback for either team Florida no longer leads the nation in interceptions thrown thanks to Arizona taking that title while Florida was off. They currently sit at minus-7 compared to a plus-3 for the Bulldogs, who have scored twice on interception returns this season (including the game-winner against Clemson). Turnover margin has not been good for the Gators. In its last three – two of them losses – Florida is averaging only 163.3 yards per game. But it is important to note that Florida averaged 322.5 rushing yards in its first four games.
Florida is averaging 254.3 yards per game, which is fourth in the nation. The Bulldogs have allowed only 63.4 rushing yards a game, second in the nation. Most people will point to this being a battle of Florida’s rushing game against Georgia’s rushing defense. Georgia ranks 38th in the country in time of possession, three sports below Florida. That makes sense because the Bulldog defense is so good that there are a lot of three-and-outs so the opposition doesn’t have the ball much. Georgia has the fewest tackles of any team in the SEC. This is a stat that makes sense, and yet it does not. And linebacker Adam Anderson certainly has a shot at being drafted late in the first round. Linebacker Nakobe Dean is in the same boat. Defensive tackle Jordan Davis, who missed last year’s game with an injury, is called “The Commander in Chief” of the defense and could be picked in the middle of the first round. We are pretty sure the NFL scouts know their names. … when you look at the fact that three Georgia defenders are possible first-round draft picks. Georgia players like to refer to their “No-Name Defense” but that moniker isn’t really accurate They may be hidden stats, but all we can go by going into the game is what each team has done so far this season.
#All timely gator time series
Or that Judd Davis would kick four field goals in the worst conditions ever for the game and Anthone Lott would call the most timely time-out in the history of the series to allow the Gators to escape in the 1993 game.
Like Florida using a fake field goal that turned former walk-on Michael McNeely into a folk hero would spark a Florida win in 2014. Often in games like Florida- Georgia, the things we don’t think of jump up and change the game. Of course, none of us had the game-changing drastically on a blocked field goal that went for a game-changing touchdown or that Florida’s advantage in the running game would be offset by 15 penalties. We all supposed that if the Gators could defend well and limit the running game, Florida would win. Any time you get to a big game week – and despite Florida’s record it is a big game – you will hear plenty of theories on how one team or the other can win the game.
