Florida vs. Georgia: Run Game Crucial to Victory for Both Teams

Quarterback matchups receive a ton of spotlight ahead of big-time games, but a look at the last few years of the fierce Florida-vs.-Georgia rivalry directs the eyes to the ground instead of the skies.

Just look at last season's matchup, when Florida upset a Top 10 Georgia team by a score of 38-20. Florida uncapped a 418-yard rushing performance at the "Cocktail Party," while Georgia only ran for 141 yards—its worst performance in that area for the entire 2014 season.

As for the quarterbacks, Georgia starter Hutson Mason had a good afternoon, completing 26 of his 41 passes for 319 yards and a touchdown.
