Georgia bracing for 'spectacular' Florida rivalry game

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) As a veteran of the Georgia-Florida rivalry, Malcolm Mitchell knows what to expect next week.

''Every year the game is spectacular, electrifying, something for everybody to enjoy and watch,'' Mitchell said.

And every year, it seems, the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division is on the line.

Despite losing back-to-back games to Alabama and Tennessee this month, Georgia (5-2, 3-2) can preserve its hopes of playing in the SEC championship game by beating No. 13 Florida (6-1, 5-1) next week in Jacksonville. Each team is off this week.

The rivalry and 50-50 split in tickets at the neutral site make the game big.
