Georgia and Florida are in Jacksonville to take part in the 92nd edition of the rivalry between the two programs on Saturday.

Both teams come into Saturday after bye weeks. Georgia earned a win over Ole Miss in Athens two weeks ago. Florida defeated Mississippi State in Gainesville. The Gators parted ways with head coach Billy Napier following that game.

Over the last two weeks, Billy Gonzales has been at the helm, preparing for Saturday’s game. He has been at Florida for 13 seasons. There is a lot of experience under Gonzales’ belt. He feels that is helpful in preparing his team to deal with the things that come with a rivalry game.

“I think it’s always good that you can speak to your players, coaching staff, and team about what to expect,” Gonzales told reporters on the SEC teleconference on Wednesday.

Florida is 3-4 on the season. The Gators have Georgia’s full focus.

“I feel like this year, more so than any other year, we actually respect it a lot more just because of, on paper, Florida doesn’t really look like the greatest team when it comes to record-wise,” Georgia defensive lineman Jordan Hall told reporters on Tuesday. “But you sit down and watch the film, it’s one of the better teams we’ve played all year. I know us up front, o-line wise, that’s probably one of the best units we played. So I respect them and their game a lot more just by watching film and sitting down and watching that.”
