LIVE Updates: Georgia vs Florida
Georgia and Florida will meet again for the 100th edition of the rivalry between these two storied programs. Georgia leads the rivalry with a 53-44-2 record, but the Gators boast the most recent win.
Mullen's Gators beat Georgia in 2020 44-28 on the back of Florida's explosive offense. The Gator's offense utilized their weapons, Kyle Trask, Kyle Pitts, and Kadarious Toney, to exploit the banged-up Georgia defense.
After finishing 2020 8-4 with three consecutive losses to end the season, the last two being to Alabama in the SEC Championship and Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl, Florida is 2-6 against ranked opponents since beating Georgia in 2020.
Mullen looks to be on the hot seat coming into today's matchup following two disappointing losses in recent weeks; the latest defeat saw LSU upset Florida in Death Valley. The Tigers victory at home dropped Florida out of the top-25 with a 4-3 record.
