Challenges for Florida
Florida and Dan Mullen step into a hostile situation in Starkville as the Bulldog fans will welcome back a head coach who abandoned them for Florida. This will be a tough test for the Gators. State is no Tennessee. The Bulldogs went into a hornet’s nest last week in Lexington but on Saturday the cow bells will be ringing. This game is probably the most critical game in the SEC on Saturday. The winner will be considered a contender in their division, the loser, an after thought.
Challenges for Mississippi State
After a gut-wrenching loss to Kentucky the Bulldogs must pull together and avoid losing a second straight contest. Feleipe Franks is an experienced QB for the Gators. So for this season he’s thrown 12 touchdowns with just two interceptions. That’s more TD passes than he had in all of the 2017 season.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 5 pm CT (6 pm ET) and can be seen on ESPN.
