Rivalry week is upon us, which means bitter in-state opponents will be going head-to-head in front of electric environments on Saturday.
Gainesville, Florida will be no different, when Florida State heads to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to play Florida in the regular-season finale. Florida is in search of its first home win over Florida State since 2009, so Florida officials decided to shake up the end zones as the Gators search for a second straight 10 win season.

A photo had leaked of the end zones earlier in the week, but University has made it official one day in advance of the matchup.
Florida had been sporting the orange end zones with blue letters since November 2018, but are trying something different as Florida State comes to town at 6-5 under interim coach Odell Haggins.
