Georgia-Florida Match-ups
The top match-up in Jacksonville this Saturday is A.J. Green on Gator CB Janoris Jenkins. It'll be #8 trying to beat #1. NFL scouts will be taking a good look at this one. And the match-up will impact this game in a big way. A.J. has just been amazing since coming back. Jenkins looks like the 2nd most talented CB in the SEC (LSU Peterson is tops).
Another big-time match-up will be the Florida OTs matched up on Justin Houston. Gilbert & Nixon have their hands full. And John Brantley knows all about Houston. QBs watch video during game week and are always taking a close look at the opponents top pass rusher. Gators might want to give those big tackles some help. Or Houston could shut them down.
Those are the top 2 match-ups. I give Georgia the edge in both. In fact, if Green and Houston their individual match-ups that could swing the outcome our way.
Confidence is a huge factor in sports. In spite of the recent success Florida has had against Georgia, I'd have to say the confidence edge goes to the 'Dogs, because of the roll they've been on the last 4 games. The Gators have been getting kicked around, during the same time frame.
