Setting the scene: Come Saturday afternoon, Dan Mullen will be hunting his first win over the Georgia Bulldogs since returning to Gainesville in 2018. Mullen and the Gators will look to do so after thumping the Missouri Tigers on Halloween night 41-17. Meanwhile, Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs will look to continue its dominance in the SEC East. The Bulldogs are coming off of a lackluster win 14-3 win over Kentucky last week. Each team has one loss on it’s record, with each coming from a SEC West opponent. Like most years, it appears the road to Atlanta runs right along the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, making for a huge top-10 matchup against the Gators and Bulldogs.
