Football- 3 Key Factors: Florida-Georgia

1. John Brantley - The Gators just played 2 1/2 games without Brantley (used Driskel and Brissett). They did not have Brantley for the second half of Bama, where their offense did not score. He missed the entire LSU game, where their offense scored 11 total points. He also missed the entire Aubrun game where they only scored a pathetic 6 points on two FG's. With Brantley, the Gators have scored 151 points in 4 games.. without him, they have scored 27 points in 3 games.


2. Gators defense - The Gators have allowed nearly 80 points in just 2 games (Alabama and LSU). Last game, they did a good job of holding Auburn to only 17 points, which where I'd say only about 7 of them were the defense fault. If the Gators defense can hold Georgia to below 30 points, I think the Gators will win this game. 


3. Punt returning - Clearly, the punt returning was AWFUL vs. Auburn. A total of 7 punts were kicked to them. 2 of them they let bounce, 1 was not caught cleanly, and the other 5 were all muffed, 2 of them being turnovers which led to Tiger scores. If I am Will Muschamp, I work this team (especially Rainey) so hard, in affect to their embarrassing performance vs Auburn. Punt returning is gonna be a big factor in this game.
