1. Will Florida be able to re-establish the run this weekend against the Bulldogs?

Oh yeah. Kelvin Taylor had a big game with 121 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. Jordan Scarlett broke out, with 96 yards on nine carries. The offensive line certainly picked up the pace.

2. How will Harris fare in his second consecutive start?

It was shaky, but Harris made a few nice throws down the stretch -- especially to Antonio Callaway. He finished 8/19 passing for 155 yards and a TD. He rushed for 39 yards and a lost fumble on 10 carries.

3. Who will we see line up at quarterback for Georgia this weekend?

Faton Bauta, but the dice roll proved to be a bust for UGA. Bauta went 15/33 for 154 yards and 4 INTs. UGA couldn't establish the run, and that killed off the idea of the play-action game with Bauta.

4. Will true freshman wide receiver Antonio Callaway (foot) be good to go against Georgia?

Was there any ever that much doubt? It's a tough South Florida kid in Callaway we're talking about. A minor foot injury isn't going to hold him back. He finished with 110 yards and a TD on 3 catches, none bigger than the 66-yard TD catch.

5. Will the Florida defense successfully shut down the run and revive the pass rush this weekend?


Georgia rushed for only 69 yards on 22 carries. Sony Michel had 45 yards on 13 carries. The defense dialed in the pressure, especially in the second half. Hell yes.

6. How will Florida's kickers perform against Georgia this weekend?

Not too great. Austin Hardin missed his lone FG attempt from 45 yards out and had a PAT blocked. However, he was decent on kickoff duty.

7. Speaking of special teams, will UF be able to get anything going in the kickoff return game?

Nope. Next question.

8. How involved will freshmen running backs Jordan Cronkrite and Jordan Scarlett be this weekend against Georgia? Same question for redshirt freshman tight end C'yontai Lewis, who has missed the past five games with a hand injury.

Scarlett got his fair share of touches and looked like the much-hyped back we envisioned during the offseason when he first signed with UF. Cronkrite saw opportunities but was ejected after a targeting call. Lewis got involved and made a few nice blocks. He made a catch for 25 yards early in the contest.

9. Will the Florida secondary bounce back?

4 INTs, with 3 coming from members of the secondary. Enough said.

10. Will Florida exit Jacksonville with the SEC East title practically in its grasp, or will it no longer have control of its destiny once the contest is over?

Yes. Florida's a virtual lock at this point for Atlanta. Vanderbilt isn't going undefeated and is expected to see an L next weekend vs. UF unless the 'Dores pull off a massive upset.
