Former UGA football players predict the score of the Georgia – Florida game

We got a big one. It’s Georgia – Florida in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party this Saturday from TIAA Bank Field.

With the greatest weekend of the year just a few days away, we wanted to hear from some of the Damn Good Dawgs who have helped shape this rivalry into one college football’s best.

These guys know that an entire season can be judged by how they fare in Jacksonville. And this year, that is more true than ever, as both team’s have their back’s against the wall. As far as the College Football Playoff goes, it’s win or go home this Saturday in Jacksonville.

We polled some Georgia greats who have played in the storied rivalry and asked them for their prediction for this weekend’s game.

They’re all rolling with the Dawgs.

RB Keith Marshall: “UGA 27-21”

WR Justin Scott-Wesley: “Georgia, 24-21 in overtime”

LB Jordan Jenkins” “24-21 us”

WR Tavarres King: “27-17 Dawgs”

RB Richard Samuel: “42-14 Georgia”

TE Arthur Lynch: “31-28 Dawgs”

“I think both have elite defenses and it’s going to come down to the quarterbacks and offensive lines’ ability to pass protect.”

LB Dannell Ellerbe: “20-12 Georgia”

LB Jake Ganus: “27-20 Dawgs”

P Cam Nizialek: “24-21 late”

“But I’m hoping for Dawgs by 90.”

DL Mike Thornton: “20-17. Dawgs edge it out.”

LB Ryne Rankin: Georgia wins 24-21
