Show notes

When you look at the way 2020 has played out on the gridiron, almost everything has changed relative to expectations, from the schedule, to the opponents, to the number of people in the stands and much more. But one element that stayed constant both before and after COVID upended our world was Florida’s need and desire to beat Georgia and rise to the top of the SEC East.
