The No. 11 Georgia Bulldogs will go to battle two more times before they get running back Todd Gurley back and their first test is against the Florida Gators.
Georgia coach Mark Richt spoke about the absence of Gurley and said that they can't let one player distract them from the goal at hand. When Gurley cane return, he will be inserted into the starting lineup.
"This team was improving whether Todd played or not," Richt said. "We were getting better defensively. We were getting better offensively. A lot of people say Todd not being there gave the team incentive to play harder. There may be some truth to that. They love Todd. They wanted to honor him, especially when he missed some games. They wanted to give him a little sign like, `Hey, we're with you.' But we were getting better regardless.”
Florida is likely going to have some major changes as coach Will Muschamp is all but fired after this year. Muschamp has been in good spirits about his job security and spoke about his mentality.
"As a football coach, it's a bunker mentality," Muschamp said. "It's what you deal with when you get in this profession. I told the team after the (last) game, I said, `As a fan, you buy a ticket. They reserve the right to boo. They buy the ticket, they can come boo and chant and holler and scream and start a website and all that stuff.'
"If that's what they want to do, that's certainly their prerogative. As a coach or a player, when you come to the University of Florida or a place like this, that's something you've got to accept. That's part of it."
Georgia leads the all-time series against Florida 49-40-2 and the Bulldogs have won three-straight against the Gators.
