Florida vs. Georgia: Key storylines
1. Can Aaron Philo pick up where Florida left off?
Jones helped Florida beat Texas in his first career start, but Philo is taking back the job. Philo struggled against Missouri and South Carolina, so don’t be shocked it Jones gets a look at some point if Philo struggles again.
2. Can Jadan Baugh keep Florida ahead of the chains?
Baugh ran for 91 yards and a touchdown at Texas after being bottled up against Missouri and South Carolina. The key is how much Georgia will stack the box and dare Florida to beat them over the top.
3. Can the defense force Georgia into mistakes?
Gunner Stockton threw two interceptions against Auburn. Florida needs to create similar opportunities and capitalize on them.
