Rumored that the Gators leading receiver Antanio Callaway injured a foot in practice this week and might not be available for the game.

If UF put up 28 on LSU's defense, I have a hard time seeing UGA - of all defenses - just keeping them to 14 points.

Hold on Eastern Michigan, Auburn (With Jeremy Johnson), and South Carolina all scored over 21 points against LSU's Defense too. There Defense is not that great. There like UGA with a better QB.

A sucky Syracuse team scored 24 on LSU and gave them one hell of a tough game.

I think this is the kind of outcome that is likely.

UGA's offense is fairly limited and Florida's D can focus in on some keys. UGA-Mizzou game was 10-9. I think if Florida scores over 20 it will be tough for UGA to keep pace.

Both teams had the weekend off, so a lot of the game may be about anticipating and adjusting to how the other team is going to prepare.

For example, you tell your cornerback, "hey, we've noticed that when this happens, you react a certain way. If we noticed it, so did they, and if were them, this is what we would do to take advantage." And you coach him to be alert to that adjustment by them.

Coaching plays a big role in this one, and since its Richt, I like our chances.

After watching that horrible Missouri v UGA game, I have a hard time believing Georgia can score enough against Florida to win.
I agree with Lawgator.

I could also see this getting ugly for UGA fast, however, if Florida comes out and punches Georgia in the mouth fast.

Plus, with Mark Richt coaching, I have no confidence in UGA actually pulling an upset and beating Florida.

Rumblings out of Athens that Faton Bauta is going to see snaps. Read option with Sony Michel could be an interesting dimension for GA.

Apparently the rumors are true...

Florida will start its backup quarterback Saturday against Georgia, and as it turns out, so will the Bulldogs.

Sources tell gridironnow.com that Bulldogs junior Faton Bauta, who has been the third-stringer for much of the season, will start against the Gators in a game that seems likely to determine the SEC East title. Greyson Lambert had started Georgia’s first seven games.

Bauta (6 feet 3, 215 pounds), a fourth-year junior who already has graduated, has received scant playing time as a Bulldog. He has played in 14 games in his career, but hasn’t run or passed the ball in seven games this season. Most of his action this season has come as the holder on kicks.

In his career, Bauta has 10 rushes for 46 yards and two touchdowns, and he is 4-of-5 for 48 yards as a passer.

His running ability is his biggest selling point, and he gives Georgia the ability to run the read-option. Florida had trouble with Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs, who rushed for 136 yards in the Vols’ 28-27 loss to the Gators. With Dobbs, there was the threat of the pass. Can Bauta provide that, too?

Expecting him to provide a spark in arguably Georgia’s biggest game of the season certainly is a bold coaching move.

Bulldogs coach Mark Richt hinted that his team would play more than one quarterback after Wednesday’s practice. “All I can tell you is we’ve been repping more than one guy with the ones, and we’re going to continue to do that,” Richt told reporters.

Tight end Jeb Blazevich also met with the media after Wednesday’s practice. “I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say,” Blazevich told reporters. “But (coaches are) definitely focusing on putting the pressure on guys, and everything like that. I’ll just kind of leave that open-ended. I don’t want to get in trouble.”

Bauta was a high school standout at Palm Beach Gardens (Fla.) Dwyer, where he preceded Jacoby Brissett as the starter. Brissett signed with Florida but eventually transferred to North Carolina State and is the Wolfpack’s starter.

Interestingly, Bauta was in the same recruiting class as Lambert, a Georgia native. Lambert had some interest in Georgia, but once Bauta committed to Georgia, that interest waned.

Sophomore Treon Harris became Florida’s starting quarterback two weeks ago when redshirt freshman Will Grier was suspended after he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Harris started the Gators’ win over Georgia last season.

If he was so good, why hasn't he seen more action?? This smacks of a desperation move by Richt, kind of like Peterman 2013 vs UF.

Georgia is desperate due their QB play and as such, is reportedly starting their 3rd stringer. That's not gonna go well, at least not for as long as they try that experiment. Florida wins this one going away....34-17 IMO.
