As a fan of the SEC, it doesn't get much better than Georgia vs Florida. The two programs are two of the most successful programs in the history of the SEC, so anytime they take the field everyone is usually watching closely.

Georgia and Florida enter their matchup this year on two completely opposite ends of the spectrum. Georgia is 6-1 and has everything to play for this season while Florida is 3-4 and just fired their head coach. But even if this looks like a game Georgia should dominate, they still aren't favored by that many points.

Looking ahead to Saturday's showdown, here are five questions facing the Bulldogs.

1. Can Gunner Stockton continue playing at a Heisman level?

Gunner Stockton has officially played his way into the Heisman conversation after his five touchdown performance against Ole Miss. Will he be able to keep that pace? Or will he falter and fade out of the conversation as quickly as he entered it?

The good news for Georgia is that they don't need Stockton to win the Heisman to be a successful team, but if he is able to play well enough to be in the conversation then it's hard finding a game left on UGA's schedule that they will lose. That is especially the case in their next game against Florida who will not be able to keep up if Georgia's offense explodes once again.

Saturday Stockton will get to show if his performance against Ole Miss was an outlier or if that can be expected of him going forward. Either way Georgia fans will learn what the true potential of the Georgia offense is against the Gators.
