THE MATCHUP
Florida’s scoring-defense statistics got obliterated in the Oct. 18 game against Missouri, when the Tigers scored via kickoff return, punt return, fumble return and interception return, but the Gators are third in the SEC in fewest yards allowed (317.3). “They have a defense that’s very good and plays play after play,” Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. “They cause every offense they play a lot of headaches, so it’s a big challenge for us, and it’s been a big challenge every time we’ve faced Florida. We know it’s going to be kind of a street fight, and we’ve got to get ready for that.” The Bulldogs lead the SEC in scoring offense at 43.4 points a game and have been physical up front, but the Georgia line could be challenged today by the Florida defensive front headed by 6-foot-3, 260-pound junior Dante Fowler. “He’s a good player, and we’ll know where he is and where he’s lined up,” Bobo said. “There will be some different things that we do, but we still have to do what we feel like gives us the best chance to move the ball. He does wreak havoc over there, and it will be a big challenge for our tight ends and tackles.”
