No. 5 Georgia plays Florida in their annual rivalry game in Jacksonville on Saturday. The Bulldogs are winners of three straight, including a 43-35 upset win over No. 5 Ole Miss. Quarterback Gunner Stockton has emerged as a dynamic playmaker, completing 70.5% of his passes with 17 total touchdowns to only one interception.

With Napier gone, the University of Florida has announced that wide receivers coach Billy Gonzalez will be taking over as the team's interim head coach. Gonzalez, and a handful of other coaches on staff, are expected to contribute towards play-calling responsibilities.
