Happy Thanksgiving, Gator Nation! Today we express our gratitude to the Orange and Blue for being the best school anyone could attend. In celebration, Florida football is set to face the Florida State Seminoles for a rare Friday night treat at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.
The good guys carry a 6-5 record near the conclusion of an up-and-down campaign which reached a nadir last weekend with a loss at the Vanderbilt Commodores. Meanwhile, the opposition has been riding pretty high with a solid 8-3 mark along with a No. 16 spot in both major polls after a tough three-game stretch in the middle of the schedule.
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.
