The Florida Gators have not beaten the Florida State Seminoles in the last five seasons, with the Seminoles’ win streak verging on six calendar years.
The last time the Gators took down their in-state rivals, it was in 2012, when the Gators took a very good team to Doak Campbell Stadium and ran away with a close game late.
This year, Florida is taking maybe its best team since that season to Tallahassee two days after Thanksgiving — and the FSU team awaiting the Gators is unquestionably the worst of this decade.
Florida has not had as good a chance to beat FSU in football as it does today in a while.
