In times past the “Georgia-Florida” game, as called by Georgia starting quarterback Stetson Bennett, has definitely been more anticipated. But because of Florida’s production, or lack thereof, and Georgia enters this game favored by 22.5 points.
The Gators haven’t seen the play they’ve expected out of their guys, but that’s not stopping Bennett from showing them the respect that he’s built up for them over years of living less than two hours from the game.
He said it’s “a little bit closer to home down there” playing in Jacksonville. Being from Blackshear, Georgia, he’s grown up in closer “proximity” to the game and has a better understanding of the rivalry living closer to Florida fans.
