Georgia outside linebacker D’Andre Walker (15) and his teammates will seek to return to their winning ways this week against Florida after falling to LSU and quarterback Joe Burrow 36-16 on Oct. 13.The last time the Georgia Bulldogs left a playing field, they were in the immediate stages of processing a 36-16 loss to LSU inside Tiger Stadium on Oct. 13.
It was a setback that was accompanied by an optimistic message from third-year coach Kirby Smart.
“Everything we want is in front of us,” Smart said. “If we let LSU beating us physically beat us twice, then we haven’t done our job. The key for us is to move forward. We still have a good football team, and we still have an opportunity to do everything we want to do.
“Every opportunity we had before is still in front of us. The margin of error is just smaller.”
What’s in front of Georgia this week is the annual showdown against Florida in Jacksonville. The No. 7 Bulldogs and the No. 9 Gators are each 6-1 overall and 4-1 in Southeastern Conference play, but they are not alone atop this year’s Eastern Division race entering the final weekend of October.
