The blue outlines surrounding the playing surface is the biggest change to the field. It’s a small change, but it really does give the field a nice accent, especially with blue the theme of the weekend in the Swamp.
This will be the first game between two Top 10 teams at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium since the No. 3 Gators hosted No. 9 South Carolina on Oct. 20, 2012. Florida won that showdown, 44-11.
No. 7 Auburn and No. 10 Florida will kick off at 3:30 pm ET on Saturday.
