Georgia Football keeps on winning despite being on a bye
Florida week has already started
And so here we are guys. Florida week. For most of us Dawg fans, this is the week we mark every year in our calendar. While UGA can still win the East this year without a win against the Gators, that’s not what we want. This is our biggest rival and this is the game that most of us will judge our team on this year.
Players like Nick Chubb and Sony Michel have never tasted victory over the Gators. None of our seniors have. That has to be a big motivator for a team that has genuine championship aspirations right now. Winning this game and winning it well, would be quite the statement for players like Chubb and Lorenzo Carter to put on their UGA resume.
That being said, as much as we fans care, I don’t expect anything different from UGA this week. Kirby Smart has done a great job of keeping his team even-keeled all year. He doesn’t want them too high because he knows that lows can follow. This weekend is another business trip for this team.
Would a win mean more than any of the others this season? Probably yes, but not so much that this team is desperate. The players know right now that every game could define their season if they don’t perform. They remain ‘1 game from humility’ as Smart likes to preach. The fact that they continue to maintain that mentality gives me a good feeling for how we will all be feeling this time next week.
