The annual rite of fall has come again.
I know it's been a while since I wrote an article but one thing still remains the same—Florida ALWAYS beats Georgia!
The Florida Gators (5-2) have beaten the Georgia Bulldogs (5-2) 15 out of the last 17 years—and this year will be no different with Heisman hopeful Tim Tebow under center.
SuperTebow has 2,289 total yards with 17 TDs passing and 10 TDs rushing. His best wide receiver, Percy Harvin, has made big plays all season with three TDs and a 16.6 yards per catch average.

It's been tough being a Gator fan lately—a month without a victory subjected me to constant ridicule.
But Florida beating the Dawgs is always a remedy.
There are three reasons why the Gators will have no trouble with the Bulldogs:
First, the Gator offense is much improved over last season. Florida will score more than 21 points against the Dawgs this year.
This season, the Gators average 40.4 points per game, and scored 24 on an overhyped LSU defense. The Bulldog defense gave up 35 to an enigmatic Tennessee O.
The Gators also have renewed hope of making the SEC Championship game because of the win over Kentucky and Steve Spurrier's first loss to Vandy.
If Florida wins out in conference play, the Gators will go to Atlanta.
Finally, Urban Meyer has had two streaks snapped this season—the 11-game winning streak against Auburn and his undefeated September streak. One streak still remains: Saint Urban has won all seven games against the chief Gator rivals (Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida State).
They will have no problem extending the streak to eight.
Prediction: Florida 45, Georgia 17

GEORGIA HAS LOST 15 OF THE LAST 17 AND STILL OWN THE ALL-TIME RECORD OVER THE GAYTURDS. THIS IS THE YEAR THAT THE DAWGS UPSET SUPERMAN T-BOY AND URBAN CRYER.

Mark Richt and Georgia will bring it...they do every year and this game is never a cake walk for the Gators. Florida's defense is banged up and inexperienced and if Stafford has a great game then it might be a real shootout. If he doesn't, then The consistent Florida offense buries Georgia, they just have too many game breakers: Tebow, Harvin, Caldwell, Ingram, Murphy and even Moore and Cooper.

I highly doubt that Georgia will show up as the cupcake team you describe them to be. The Gators are coming off a brutally-intense game where we saw the SuperTebow falter. I expect Stafford will show up to help the Dawgs challenge this young Gator Defense. That being said, Florida still wins. Florida 42, Georgia 28

I will stick with my original prediction of 45-17 Gators because the Dogs couldnt muster a 1st half touchdown against the same Tennessee defense who gave up 41 points the average Tide offense. Plus the Dogs don't have the receivers to stretch the field against the Gator defense

You sure base a lot on what happened in other games. Yes Tenn. killed UGA, but didn't UGA beat an Alabama team that just murdered Tenn. So your theory has major holes in it. I promise you this will be a tough game, it always is. By the way we don't always beat UGA they used to beat us soo bad we would cry about the game being played in JAX, not to mention they still hold quite a lead in the overall record. Which shows you that we haven't always beaten them. We should win, but it will be a close good game

What are you kid? 19-20? I remember the days when we couldn't beat them. I remember losing to them 75-0, 44-0. I remember wanting to beat them so bad I didn't care if we lost every other game but that one. Trust me, that's where they are now. You young guys don't know the history but us older guys do. Life is cyclical. Lets hope it doesn't cycle their way any time soon, but it will eventually. Let's hope I'm dead and gone when it does. They will come in here with passion and hope, but I think we have enough firepower to beat 'em. Haven't seen Georgia do anything else yet to convince me otherwise.
