The Florida Gators (6-4) will try to pull off a huge upset on Saturday afternoon when they go up against the #1 Florida State Seminoles (11-0). The Seminoles easily won this in-state rivalry game 37-7 last year.

Florida had one of their best offensive performances of the season last Saturday when they blew out Eastern Kentucky 52-3 at home. They had 326 passing yards in that win while holding Eastern Kentucky to just 142 total yards.

Florida's defense has been very good this season, allowing just 20.9 points per game. Running back Matt Jones has averaged five yards per carry this season for 788 yards and six touchdowns. Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has caught a team-high 43 passes for 703 yards and seven touchdowns.

Florida State kept their perfect record intact last weekend by barely beating Boston College 20-17 at home. They had 391 total yards in that win and they were able to convert six of their 11 third down opportunities.

The Seminoles are 12th in the country in passing with 314.9 passing yards per game, and they are 26th in scoring with 35.5 points per game. Quarterback Jameis Winston isn't a Heisman favorite again this season, but he has still had a decent season by throwing for 3,125 yards with 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Wide receiver Rashad Greene has caught 83 passes for 1,148 yards with five touchdowns.
