The big day is nearly here, as the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs get set to lock horns at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville for this year’s edition of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
New head coach [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] will experience the thrill of the rivalry game for the first time on Florida’s sidelines. On the other sideline is Kirby Smart, who voiced his dismay earlier in the week about the neutral site location. The gap between the two teams is vast with the largest spread ever dating back to the mid-1990s.
The Bulldogs hold a solid edge on the Gators in the all-time series with a 53-44-2 record dating back to the first meeting in 1915. Both schools own series-high seven-game winning streaks, with Florida’s coming from 1990 to 1996 and Georgia’s from 1941 to 1948. The long-time rivals have split their last two meetings but UGA has won four of the past five coming into Saturday.
