Georgia’s wide receivers have no chance against Florida’s secondary. None.
Not according to NFL.com college football writer Chase Goodbread, at least, who is expecting Gators corners Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson to dominate their competition on Saturday:
Expecting an absolute shutdown performance from #Florida CBs Tabor & Wilson Saturday. Eason's only windows will be to slot/TEs/backs.

It would not be anything different than what’s occurred the first half of the 2016 season. Entering Week 9, Florida ranks No. 2 nationally allowing just 132.8 passing yards per game. It has also surrendered just four touchdowns (No. 2) to its 10 interceptions (t-14th), topping the entire FBS in opponent completion percentage (37.9) and passer efficiency rating (80.82).
Meanwhile, Georgia true freshman quarterback has had a modest debut, tossing nine touchdowns with five interceptions but placing 10th in the conference with 6.6 yards per attempt.
You can see how the battle plays out this Saturday when the two teams meet in Jacksonville, Fl. for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
