Game Preview:

Kickoff: #1 ranked, 7-0 Georgia vs. unranked, 4-3 Florida. The game starts at 3:30 p.m. at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida.

Broadcast: Listen to the game LIVE on AM 750, WSB

Tickets: The game is always a sellout with the crowd technically split 50/50 between Florida and Georgia fans. There are tickets available through ticket brokers. Prices on StubHub begin around $80 with a very limited supply.

Weather: Temperatures are expected to be around 70 degrees with winds coming out of the west from 10-20 mph.

Storylines: Crazy things often happen in this game. For Georgia, if they want to win, they will need to limit that. There’s still some question as to who will start at QB, Stetson Bennett IV or J.T. Daniels. Bennett has been behind center for the past five games and thrown for 996 yards and 11 touchdowns this season.

Can Florida move the ball on Georgia’s top rated defense? Who will the Gators start at QB? Emory Jones or Anthony Richardson? Can Florida’s defense contain the Bulldogs explosive offense?
