Gators fans are a day closer to the final regular-season game for their beloved Florida football team with the Florida State Seminoles awaiting them in Doak Campbell Stadium for a Friday night tangle between two in-state rivals.
FSU looks to hold its ground with an 8-3 record and ranked No. 16 in the nation in both major polls while UF has sputtered to a 6-5 mark and is nowhere to be found in either poll. Additionally, the visitors have dealt with some roster attrition after the dismissal and departure of a handful of players. It might not be a pretty one in Tallahassee.
Florida holds an 11-game lead in the all-time series sporting a 37-26-2 record dating back to 1958. The Gators won five of the first six meetings — with a 3-3 tie coming in 1961 — and 16 of the first 19 games between the Sunshine State schools. Since then, it has been a bit of a tug-of-war over short stretches for each team, with the Orange and Blue prevailing in the last three games.
