Growing up in Georgia means growing up in the GA-FL tradition. It means that when the week arrives, you know which side you are on and who is who.
I grew up a 
and despised the 
as much as anyone. The Spurrier ERA was the worst of all. I went off and became a 
and believe it or not, still despised the dreaded 
. With that said, I started losing touch with the Battle of the Swamp held in Jacksonville FL. Historically 
lead the series 45-37-2 against the dreaded 
. Today, as a 
fan, we have to hope that we can stop the 
QB and his 3 wideouts if we want to win. ALL in ALL, we are hoping for a victory for the 
today.
MICHAEL DIROCCO of The Times-Union in Jacksonville FL list the 3 key matchups as this:
Florida kick returner Brandon James vs. Georgia special teams It has been 103 games since the Gators returned a kickoff for a touchdown, but James has come close several times this season. The former St. Augustine High standout had a 61-yard return against Kentucky to set up a late first-half touchdown, and his 28.3-yard average is third in the SEC. He leads the SEC in punt-return average (18.9). The Bulldogs rank first in the league in net punting (38.3) but are one of three SEC teams not to have forced a touchback.
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow vs. Georgia middle linebacker Dannell Ellerbe Despite a bruised right shoulder, the left-handed Tebow (above, left) - UF's leading rusher with 578 yards and 10 touchdowns - will try to run the ball inside against the Bulldogs. The Gators will try to limit Tebow's carries, but the sophomore from Nease High School ends up getting most of his carries when he scrambles. Ellerbe (above, right) is UGa's leading tackler (53), and he'll need to limit Tebow's yards after contact.
Florida defensive end Derrick Harvey vs. Georgia tackle Trinton Sturdivant The Bulldogs' offensive line, despite starting three freshmen, has given up only 10 sacks this season. Sturdivant - a 6-foot-5, 293-pound freshman - will sometimes have to contain Harvey, who's second in the Southeastern Conference with 61/2 sacks. It's unlikely that Sturdivant has faced a player with Harvey's speed. Florida's pass rush has been inconsistent, but the Gators did sack Kentucky's Andre Woodson six times last Saturday.
