Last game of the regular season. Florida State is playing for a chance at a New Year's 6 bowl game. Lose, and the 'Noles are likely off to Jacksonville or Orlando. Florida still has a shot at making the top 4. Of course, all the Gators have to do is beat FSU and then beat Alabama (SHOULD be Bama) for the SEC title.
Florida has struggled on offense the last few weeks. The Gators have averaged 3.04 yards a carry the last three games against FAU, South Carolina, and Vandy. Florida State brings in a stout defense that does well in the red zone and is very good against the run. Unfortunately for the 'Noles, the only road game in which they have scored more than 16 points was against Wake Forest. Florida State has averaged 16.75 points in road games, and that includes a scoop and score against Boston College. In other words, this game, on paper, looks like a punt fest. Which team can protect the ball, execute in the red zone, and avoid special teams failures will likely win the game.
