Florida Gators (3-1, 1-1) SEC East @ #23 Mississippi State Bulldogs (3-1, 0-1) SEC West
LINE: Mississippi State -9 (53) over Florida
Gators Lead the Series 33-19-2.
First game: Nov. 24, 1923. UF 13 MS 13 Tie.
Last game: Oct. 10, 2010. UF 7 MS 10. Dan Mullen defeats Urban Meyer at the Swamp.
Welcome to the Mullen Bowl! Both teams have insider knowledge on each other. The Gators have four coaches from last year's Mississippi State team. The Bulldogs have over 50 players recruited by those coaches. The last time Dan Mullen played against his former team at their stadium, he drained the Swamp and walked out of his former home with a victory. If the Gators can silence the cowbells, maybe he can pull off the upset in Starksville.
This week leading into the heart of SEC play might mean this is the statistical peak, so here is how the Gators rank in stats before the game:
Fearless prediction: Fightin' Gators 17, Fightin' Cowbells 20.
