Prediction

[Bob Self/Florida Times-Union]
Florida sophomore quarterback Anthony Richardson hasn’t lived up to the preseason hype.

Richardson is 11th in the SEC in pass yards (1,367), 13th in completion percentage (58%) and seventh in yards per completion (8).

The Gators are the worst team in the Football Bowl Subdivision in third down defense, and allow 429 yards per game.

In contrast, Georgia’s offense has the fourth-ranked third down offense in the FBS and averages 527 yards of offense per game.

The Bulldogs look to be the better team by far, but we all know how rivalry games can produce unpredictable outcomes.

The Bulldogs will have to maintain their composure and use the glaring advantages they have on both sides of the ball.

If UGA can limit turnovers and stop the run, it will force Richardson to beat it through the air, something the Florida quarterback hasn’t shown he can do effectively thus far.

Prediction: 43-13, Georgia wins, covers and moves to 8-0 on the season.
