Georgia Football 2017 Preview: The Florida Gators
Chances of a UGA win?
To me, this is the biggest Georgia-Florida rivalry game in years. UGA have been on the wrong end of these games for far too long. Mark Richt, for all his merits went 5-10 against the Gators and those losses have hurt dawg fans. We want and NEED Kirby to find a way to win this game. We haven’t beaten them since 2013 and 4 straight losses feels like far too much pain for me.
It’s always a tough game and UGA seem to so often underwhelm on these big stages. This is Kirby Smart’s chance to show that the culture at UGA is changing. That they are not going to continually tease and then disappoint. It’s going to be a battle, but I really believe this is going to be the year UGA can turn that corner. It’s going to be helped by the fact that Florida is down on talent in 2017. This is unlikely to be the same defensive juggernaut we have seen for the past few years and UGA should be better on offense.
This is the year Georgia takes back the SEC East. It starts, by beating those pesky Gators and showing them that the dawgs are back.
Penny Prediction: Georgia finally beats their nemesis and moves to 7-1 and the drivers seat for the SEC East.
