JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Who knew Georgia senior receiver Lawrence Cager had so much more respect for Florida receivers than Gators defensive backs?

Minutes after Cager racked up seven catches for 132 yards and a 52-yard touchdown reception during Saturday’s 24-17 victory over Florida at TIAA Bank Field, the 6-foot-5, 220-pounder was asked about upstaging Florida’s deep and talented collection of receivers.

“I know all those guys over there, and they’re a great corps, especially tight end Kyle Pitts,” Cager said.

Hours later, Cager decided to revel in his torturing of the Gators, posting on his Instagram account, “I thought they was DBU.”

Whether showing respect or poking fun of the opposition, Cager has left no doubt the Bulldogs have a much better offense when he is available. The graduate transfer from the University of Miami was unable to finish the double-overtime loss to South Carolina on Oct. 12, and he missed the following week’s win over Kentucky with shoulder and rib injuries.
