In an era where the game is moving towards being able to just blow your opponents away by chucking the ball to matchup problems in space, the Florida teams are theoretically at a major advantage. Because finding and fielding skill athletes from their recruiting turf isn’t terribly difficult.

The catch?  Well, there’s always a trade off, isn’t there…

What you lose with the pro-spread, pass-first approach is the ability to protect the quarterback easily with the run game and to pick up short-yardage.

One reason I feel good about Georgia’s chances against Florida this season (again) is because of the favorable defensive match-up of the Gators’ passing attack against what should be a very strong Dawgs back seven, made even better by the relative lack of a threat from the Florida running game.  All of which makes me wonder if we’ll see more Emory Jones in this year’s meeting than we did in 2019.
