The No. 10 Florida Gators host the No. 7 Auburn Tigers this weekend at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. It’s the first matchup of undefeated top-10 teams in Gainesville since 2012.
It pits two of the SEC’s best defenses against each other facing largely unproven quarterbacks. Auburn’s starting freshman Bo Nix actually has more game experience than Florida starter Kyle Trask. Undoubtedly the Gators and Tigers will be game planning to pressure the two green passers in what promises to be a tightly contested, defensive battle.
Florida and Auburn are so similar that the biggest statistical advantage the Gators might have going into the game is the third phase of the game, special teams.
