Although Florida and Michigan have played each other three times since 2016 they aren’t traditional opponents. The Gators and Wolverines squared off in the 2017 season opener but Michigan can’t draw much from that game because Florida has an entirely new staff.
Obviously the coaching staff has been pouring over film since the Peach Bowl was officially announced but there’s no better teacher than experience. We asked players and coaches from both teams if there was an opponent they faced this season that they think. The SEC and B1G are very different conference but the coaches and players we spoke with all were able to tie in past opponents to the team they will face this Saturday.
