The ‘World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party’ is set to go off this Saturday, Florida football is attempting to become that SEC East frontrunner.

Florida and Georgia meet for the 98th time this Saturday. As is often the case, it’ll be a top-10 matchup that sets the course of the SEC East going forward.

Georgia is looking for its fourth straight win over Florida, while Dan Mullen is looking to be the Bulldogs for just the second time in his career as a head coach and for the first time as the Florida head coach.

This game matches the explosive Florida offense against suffocating Georgia defense. Something has to give.

3. Kyle Pitts won’t score

There isn’t a better tight in in college football than Florida’s Kyle Pitts. Through four games he has caught seven touchdown passes and gained 355 yards through the air. On the season, he has gained 16.1 yards per catch.

Pitts has been so successful because he’s a matchup nightmare. He comes at you with a wide receiver’s skillset, but a tight end’s size. Not even SEC linebackers are fast enough to cover him, while defensive backs aren’t big enough.

Georgia is the only SEC school with a defense that can consistently match Pitts’ athleticism and he’ll be their focus on Saturday. Kirby Smart will scheme to contain Pitts and make Florida win the game running the football or throwing to less talented receivers.

This will keep Pitts out of the end zone.
