Florida vs. FSU, Game Thread: Gators seek to reverse recent rivalry history
I don’t have predictions for Florida’s game against Florida State (8 p.m., ABC or WatchESPN) on this Saturday night. I’ve been dealing with the aftereffects of some food poisoning and/or stomach flu thing for the better part of the last week, and most of what I wanted to write in preview of this game was published Wednesday.
It will be a simple game, probably. Florida’s defense against FSU’s offense, and that talented tandem of Deondre Francois and Dalvin Cook, is a strength-on-strength conflict, and if the Gators can limit Cook’s big plays and force Francois to throw in uncomfortable third-and-long situations, they can probably do enough to make this game winnable for their offense.
