Football- Florida-Georgia Preview

The Gators are coming off of a 3 game losing streak. For some, this was expected, for others, they are shocked. The Gators started off to a great start at 4-0, defeating Florida Atlantic, UAB, Tennessee and Kentucky. Then started their rough October schedule home for the Crimson Tide, where they didn't only lose the game, they lost their starting QB. 4 weeks later, John Brantley is healthy and ready to go vs. Georgia in the annual rivalry game in Jacksonville, FL. This game will come down to how well the Gators defense can contain a good Bulldogs offense with Murray at QB (120-198, 1653 yards, 16 TD), Star receivers like Mitchell and Charles, and a great running game with RB I. Crowell. The Gators offense on the other hand, has to simply improve its game. The running game has been slow, the throwing game has been pathetic, and the special teams looks awful outside of Caleb Sturgis and new punter Kyle Christy. In other words, the Gators need to improve their offense and hold a great Georgia offense to under 25-30 points to win this game. It'll be tough, but I think Will Muschamp knows how to work this team correctly.
