I simply couldn’t picture a more fitting start to Georgia-Florida week than this.
A scrum broke out between former Georgia wide receiver Javon Wims and former Florida defensive back CJ Gardner-Johnson in the Saints vs Bears game on Sunday afternoon.
Gardner-Johnson was shown putting his finger inside the face mask of Chicago’s wide receiver Anthony Miller which then incited Wims to retaliate.
After the finger poke, Wims gave Gardner-Johnson a subtle tap from behind him and then rung his bell with two very powerful punches before being separated.

Wims was immediately ejected from the game and will likely be fined and possibly suspended.
It was an undisciplined move on Wims’ part but man nothing gets you going like a little Georgia-Florida brawl. Saturday’s matchup between the No. 8 Gators and No. 5 Bulldogs should be one for the books.
