The annual Florida-Georgia game is upon us and there are plenty of notable storylines coming into the game.
For starters, the Bulldogs have won four of the last five matchups in the rivalry and the games haven’t been close. Last year’s 34-7 loss by Florida was the worst since a 42-7 loss in 2017. With that in mind, it makes sense to see Florida enter the game as a massive underdog (Georgia is the favorite by three touchdowns).
But this is [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag]’s first Georgia game as the head coach of the Florida Gators, and the fans simply won’t accept another year of rolling over and playing dead from the Orange and Blue. A win might be hard to come by, but a strong effort shouldn’t be. This is the same Gators team that kept pace with Tennessee for most of Week 4, and the Volunteers are ranked just two spots beneath the Bulldogs at No. 3 in both major polls.
So, what has to go right for Florida to pull off the biggest upset of the year?
Here’s a look at five key components of Saturday’s game that fans should focus on if they’re hoping to see a Florida win.
