The Gators put together the longest of winning streaks in the streakiest of football rivalries from 1990 to 2003, earning streaks of seven and six wins separated by a single Georgia victory. But from 2004 until 2014 – eleven games – Georgia has won five and Florida has won six – one in overtime.

Since 2004, it could be no closer, and if the Gators now want to crow about 1990 – 2003, the Dawgs should feel privileged to discuss 1965 through 1989.

In fact, from 1915 to 1950, Georgia football owned the Gators, winning over 80% of the time.

So it’s time for the Gainesville Reptiles to give it a rest.

And if the Dawgs can get a win Saturday, it will be four of five for the Clarke County Canines.

The game plan is pretty simple.

Score touchdowns.

Georgia, Kicker U, is consistently out-kicked in Jacksonville.

Last year when Marshall Morgan’s field goal attempt was ruled wide – a controversial call – and with Todd Gurley still suspended after two weeks of optimism regarding his return, the air hissed from the previously resilient Bulldogs.

In 2010 Chas Henry, the Florida punter pressed into placement service, made 2 of 3 field goals and all his extra points after missing two field goals in a three-point loss the previous game. His final kick against Georgia was the game winner in overtime.

The game plan is clear. Score touchdowns and relegate Marshall Morgan to kick offs, seven of them.

Or eight.

That’s the plan.
