The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party kicks off in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon, and the Florida Gators will be hungry for revenge after losing 42-7 to Georgia last year.
Getting off to a fast start will be critical to Dan Mullen’s team’s success, and on Saturday morning, former Florida QB Tim Tebow joined SportsCenter to discuss how the Gators can do just that.
Tebow said the running game — particularly on first down — will need to be strong to keep the Gators in the game:
“It starts with the running game and that is what is the key today,” he said. “Florida has averaged 5.5 yards per carry on first down. Georgia has a great secondary, so don’t put Franks in a tough situation.”
Both Florida and Georgia are 6-1, so this game has serious SEC East implications. Controlling the line of scrimmage will be huge, so establishing the run early is something both teams will likely try to do.
Can the Gators get it going early? Tune in to CBS at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time to find out.
