GatorCountry brings you a new podcast as we bring you Friday predictions for the Florida Gators vs. Kentucky game on Saturday night.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre break down the keys for both the offense and defense on Saturday against Kentucky.

Andrew and Nick also give you their three players to watch in the game, plus we make our predictions for the Florida game and other games across the country.

TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:​What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, it’s back, Friday prediction time. Got this game this weekend. Gators-Kentucky. Is the streak going to continue? I think so. Anyway, we’ll break this game down a little bit more for you, give you our predictions, pick a little bit of games. Not a good week this week for games. Last weekend was really good. This week, by my count, Nick, from looking, it’s only two top 25 games where they play each other this weekend.

Nick:​Is there even two? I thought it was only …

Andrew:​Georgia-South Carolina and USC-Stanford.

Nick:​Okay. Yeah. It’s a rough go. That changed sort of recently. It used to be the Week 1 games you wouldn’t have any of those marquee games, and then all of a sudden that Chick-Fil-A game in Atlanta started happening, and then now Week 1 you kind of get some of these superstar games, and then Week 2 everyone is, all right, we went on the road and played a neutral site game, so give me that directional school in Week 2. You see it this week.

But hey, college football is back, so we’re going to keep complaining to a minimum, and we’ve got football this week. We’ve got a good game. Might not be a good game to people who aren’t fans of the two schools, but I’m looking forward to opening SEC play.

Andrew:​Then that South Carolina-Georgia game, it’s a game. I don’t know how good of a game it’s going to be. I personally think Georgia runs away, not to give away my pick. That’s a little bit of good action for the SEC.

Like you said, I think you’ll get a better feel for how Florida is this week. Still don’t know how much you’ll be able to take from the offense, except for whether it improves this week or doesn’t this week. I still think that you will get some direction, but not a ton. Just because I think Florida’s offensive line should be better than the defensive line, and Florida’s defensive line should be better than Kentucky’s offensive line. Again, Florida can come out, put on a good show, erase the last two years that were, let’s just call it what it is, lucky to get out with the streak still alive for Florida.

Nick:​Yeah. I think this week, I mean, if Florida comes out and lays an egg this week it takes away all the good feelings that you had from last Saturday. Like I said on the Wednesday podcast, and I’ve said, I think, probably the last two years, there’s more pressure on Florida to not be the first team to lose this game than there is on Kentucky to end the streak, I think.

Andrew:​We talked about that with Jen the other day. Who’s the pressure on? Probably on Florida more so than it is Kentucky, simply because you don’t want to be the team that lets the streak go. Then again, if you’re Kentucky, you want to be the team that breaks the streak. Kentucky could not win another game this year, but if they end the streak, fans are going to probably be happy. So, again, I don’t know.

​Let’s just go ahead and get a little bit deeper into this game, Nick. Obviously, we know about Kentucky on offense. It’s going to be the Benny Snell show for the most part. Again, I don’t think Kentucky can beat Florida. I don’t think any team can beat Florida defensively by just being one-dimensional. So, I think Kentucky is going to have to get Terry Wilson more involved in this game at the quarterback spot, but if what Jen says is correct, and that is the playbook has to be simplified, and he can only read half the field at a time,
