Key matchups

Florida left offensive tackle Phil Trautwein vs. Georgia defensive end Quentin Moses: Moses, a senior, was a preseason All-American, but has not had the stellar season most predicted. But as of last week he's starting to come on (two sacks) and he's a threat at disrupting quarterbacks. Trautwein had some problems with the speed and physical nature of Auburn's defensive end two weeks ago, and you just know Moses, a strong pass rusher, is looking for a big game.

Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss vs. Georgia offensive lineman Daniel Inman: Since emerging late last season as a healthy player, Moss, above, has spent the majority of games this year being double-teamed. That has allowed sophomore defensive end Derrick Harvey to flourish (tied for the SEC lead with six sacks). But with injuries to its offensive line, if Georgia isn't able to double Moss, it'll be on Inman to contain his speed and athleticism.

Florida defensive tackle Marcus Thomas vs. Georgia center Nick Jones: With a freshman quarterback, Georgia must run to set up play-action for Matthew Stafford. The loss of Thomas Brown to a knee injury leaves the Bulldogs with little speed on the outside. Jones has a sprained knee sustained last week. If Thomas can plug the gap up the middle and force runners outside, that's a huge edge for the Gators.
