Many college football fans likely believe Georgia will beat Florida with ease on Saturday. The Gators are 3-4 and just fired their head coach, so certainly this should be an easy win for Georgia, right?
Kirby Smart doesn't think so, and there is one thing in particular that he is worried about the most.
“There's a new voice,” Smart shared via 247sports.com. “Sometimes new energy, sometimes change brings about a spark. I'm sure they'll change some things up and, not in any disrespect in any way to what Billy did, sometimes when you bring somebody in there's new juice there.”
Kirby Smart shares a major concern he has with playing Florida
While there are a lot of advantages that come with playing against an interim head coach, there are some disadvantages as well. And these disadvantages are what is causing Smart to lose sleep this week.
Smart shared that the fact Florida has a new voice in charge of their program is what will make this game difficult for Georgia. He believes this new energy will provide a spark that will make Florida play much better than they were before Billy Napier was fired. On top of that, their new coach could change some parts of their game plan which is impossible for UGA to predict since their new coach, Billy Gonzales, has never been a head coach before.
While these things are definitely in Florida's favor on Saturday, Georgia should still expect to win. Vegas favors Georgia by 7.5 points right now, but the hope is that the Bulldogs will be able to win by much more than that.
Georgia fans shouldn't think that this will be an easy win on Saturday. Florida has a lot of good players and if they do things the right way they could really surprise Georgia with certain aspects of their game plan on Saturday.
