When Florida football takes on Georgia Saturday, it has all the makings to be a pretty epic showdown. We wanted to look at Georgia players to watch.

When Florida football squares off with Georgia Saturday, there is a lot on the line.

In addition to ranking, the Gators and Bulldogs are battling for the inside track to represent the SEC East in the championship game in December.

Oh, and it is one of the biggest rivalries in the country.

In terms of the SEC, the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party will be the game of the week and must-see television.

Two top-10 teams, rivals, championship implications, what more do you need?

Here’s a look at five Georgia Bulldogs, you and Florida football should watch Saturday.

1. D’Andre Swift, running back

The Bulldogs are bit more balanced this season offensively.

A large reason for that is junior running back D’Andre Swift.

Of the 3,299 yards of total offense this season for Georgia, Swift accounts for 752 of them — all on the ground.

He’s the reason they beat Kentucky in a rainstorm two weeks ago — with 179 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries — and the reason the Bulldogs stayed in the game against South Carolina — with 113 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.

As Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm has struggled in the last two games — he has an efficiency rating of 98.2 and 99.5 — Swift has been called in to action more and more.

He will be a force the Florida football defense will have to contend with if they hope to be successful against Georgia’s offense.
