Much like coach Orgeron, Kirby Smart will showcase a football team that is currently undergoing a makeover.

Jake Fromm has graduated and Sam Pittman has left for his own coaching gig at Arkansas; however, Kirby still believes he can take the Bulldogs back to the playoffs with the help of new talent.

Jamie Newman, the grad transfer from Wake Forest, will probably be starting quarterback for the Bulldogs. Newman threw for an impressive 2,868 yards and added 574 yards on the ground for the Demon Deakins in 2019.

The Bulldogs have a talented offensive squad, but I believe their strong point is the defense. One of the top units in the nation.

This is good news for Smart, who will be able to rely on key stops while he works out the kinks in a seemingly new offense.

Prediction

Both teams will be coming out of a bye week, allowing both coaching staffs to develop a strong game plan.

Early on, it will be apparent that the Gators will struggle running the ball on an elite Georgia defensive line and, in return, rely a little too much on the passing attack of Kyle Trask.

The Bulldogs’ secondary will pick off a pair of interceptions, ultimately catapulting Kirby Smart to his fourth straight SEC championship game.

Will Florida football ever find a way to knock off the Bulldogs?

14. 840. Prediction. 24. 814

Record: 7-1
