Today I’m previewing the Florida-Georgia game in the same way I begin reviewing games: looking at the advanced stats. This review is based on Bill Connelly’s Five Factors of winning, and sacks are counted as pass plays.

This factor is one where Georgia has a noticeable advantage. The Bulldogs have more team speed right now than the Gators do, so that should be expected. It’s not that Florida is slow as a team, but UGA has some elite speed players like Mecole Hardman and D’Andre Swift that UF used to have but doesn’t so much at present.
