#5 Georgia (4-1) (-3.5) vs #8 Florida (3-1) (O/U 52.5)

Vegas Expectation: Georgia 28-24

GEORGIA - 29
FLORIDA - 21


GEORGIA OFFENSE
- 370 yards on 74 plays (5.04 YPP)
- 216 pass yards on 31 passes (6.92 YPA)
- 154 rush yards on 42 rushes (3.65 YPA)

FLORIDA OFFENSE
- 351 yards on 75 plays (4.68 YPP)
- 273 pass yards on 37 passes (7.38 YPA)
- 78 rush yards on 29 rushes (2.69 YPA)


So far this season......

GEORGIA OFFENSE
- Georgia is averaging 105% of their opponents pass yards per attempt allowed (7.31 vs 6.93)
- Georgia is averaging 108% of their opponents rush yards per attempt allowed (4.17 vs 3.85)

GEORGIA DEFENSE
- Georgia is allowing 77% of their opponents pass yards per attempt (6.38 vs 8.31)
- Georgia is allowing 57% of their opponents rush yards per attempt (2.52 vs 4.46)



FLORIDA OFFENSE
- Florida is averaging 117% of their opponents pass yards per attempt allowed (9.65 vs 8.28)
- Florida is averaging 108% of their opponents rush yards per attempt allowed (4.78 vs 4.41)

FLORIDA DEFENSE
- Florida is allowing 84% of their opponents pass yards per attempt (7.27 vs 8.61)
- Florida is allowing 78% of their opponents rush yards per attempt (3.75 vs 4.83)



- Georgia has played MUCH better defenses than Florida has.
- Florida has played slightly better offenses (on the whole) than Georgia has.
- Georgia's offense is slightly above average. Georgia's defense is elite.
- Florida offense is above average - but they've played 3 bad defenses and 1 average at best defense who have given up similar numbers to other teams (Ole Miss, A&M, Missouri, South Carolina). Florida's defense is slightly above average (kind of a shock to me, but they have held teams under they season averages).

I'm just not sold on Bennett XVII. I think if UGA gets into a game where they have to put up some points, he gets exposed. This is a game where I can see that happening.

Wasn't he already exposed when we played UGA?

Oh, I'm sold on him - sold on the fact that he's not very good. I think that's pretty much clear at this point. Circumstances have to be perfect for him to play well - ahead of the chains, clear pocket, open receivers, etc. If any of those break down he has little shot.

Florida gave up 170 yards (3.8 YPA) and 205 yards (5.4 YPA) on the ground to Ole Miss and A&M. Georgia's run game will look a whole lot like A&M's did, and A&M blew Florida off the ball for most of the game. Kirby will have no issues playing like he did in Lexington or against Auburn and keeping Florida off the field while wearing down their defense and making everyone one of Florida's offensive possessions a must score.

This is the type of game where if Florida lets Georgia stayed ahead of the chain then Bennett can be efficient enough to win, IMHO.

The relative health of UGA's defense is going to play a big part in the outcome. Even a half step back on defense gives them zero room for error with their offense.

He absolutely was. Once our offense started scoring is when he started to feel the pressure and he started making mistakes.

Absolutely - especially upfront. If Florida's average run game can get traction and Mullen can start doing play-action stuff and moving Toney all around with UGA having to use LBs against the run........that's big-time trouble.

And then that directly feeds into Bennett needing to score and making mistakes.

Really interesting game.

LeCounte being out is probably going to make defending Pitts even more difficult than it was already going to be as well.

UGA giving up 57% of rush average is an incredible number.

Wonder how they look with the injuries, but that is ultra elite.

If Mullen's is the QB whisperer, then Kirby is just plain tone death. He has dawgs fans questioning his sanity at this point.

The Gators need to open it up and keep their offensive foot on the gas.

The problem I've always seen with Mullen in big games is he always comes out slinging the ball early and NEVER tries to establish the running game first or even gives it equal balance. He throws, throws, throws until late in the first half when he has often already fallen behind and is chasing the opponent. Then he decides to mix in the run more liberally but it's really too late. His big game offense is imbalanced in favor of the passing game and it usually gets him in trouble.

Agreed - this feels like a game Florida can definitely win, but I have real problems trusting Mullen in a big game.

Problem is I have a big manicured spreadsheet of each SEC game played to date that I can mix and match to get all the stats.

Don't have it for any other league.

Oh well.

Lawrence being out would probably make it irrelevant anyway.

I'm satisfied with just this.

I'm not sure it would matter anyway ... with Lawrence out, Clemson's offensive stats would all have big ol' question marks beside them.

They just lost Julian Rochester for the season as well.

They are getting a small taste of our last few years.
