Georgia Football: 6 quick bold predictions for the Florida game
Dawgs hold Gators to 10 or fewer points
Georgia football has given up just 46 points all season long and averages 6.57 points a game.
That number is an elite one, which college football hasn’t seen since the 2011 Alabama defense played.
If Georgia can hold the Gators to under 10 points, that record could still be broken by the end of the season, with possibly two more games than the Tide played back then.
When head coach Kirby Smart takes on Dan Mullen’s teams, his defense does a great job limiting offensive production.
In 12 meetings between Kirby Smart defenses (as coordinator or head coach) vs. Dan Mullen offenses, Smart has held Mullen to 17 points or fewer nine times.

Mullen has averaged just 14.3 points per game. However, he has averaged 26.0 points per game in the three UF-UGA meetings.
Well, this Georgia defense takes it to another level. Nolan Smith said it best. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Patriots. They don’t want anyone in their endzone. After Kentucky scored twice on them, this defense has a point to prove. T
hey don’t want anyone to score, and if they can hold their biggest rival to one or fewer touchdowns, that would be quite the statement.
Florida may average 34 points a game, but they haven’t faced a defense like Georgia has. It’s hard to describe for opponents until they physically see them, play them and find out the hard way they are the real deal.
Georgia wants revenge against Florida, and the last time they wanted revenge against the Gators was in 2017, which included a 35 point victory for the Dawgs. We could see something similar on Saturday if the Dawgs have it their way.
