Florida wide receiver claims Gators will win SEC in 2020

Florida Gators wide receiver Jacob Copeland claims the Gators will be SEC Champions this season instead of their rival the Georgia Bulldogs

Florida Gators wide receiver Jacob Copeland claimed the Gators would be SEC Champions this season following a workout. Florida, who has lost three straight games against Georgia, went 11-2 last season, but failed to win the SEC East for the third straight season.

The winner of the Georgia versus Florida game has gone on to win the SEC East in each of the past five seasons. Will that be the case in 2020?

Once again, Florida figures to be UGA’s biggest competition in winning the SEC East. This year’s game in Jacksonville will be played on Halloween.

Here’s the video where Copeland declared Florida would win the SEC:

Copeland failed to secure a reception in Florida’s 24-17 loss to Georgia this past season. The Gators will hope to have a better result in 2020, but they’ll need more than 21 rushing yards on 19 attempts to topple the Dawgs.
