MSU (4-2, 0-2 SEC) is back to the drawing board after having back-to-back losses to top 15 teams and another tough challenge is on the way next week at Florida. The Bulldogs and Gators have known that they will be playing afternoon football in the Swamp and now the Southeastern Conference has announced that they will be playing at 3:15 p.m. on SEC Network.
The Bulldogs will take on a Gator team that is dealing with a lot of internal pressure around head coach Billy Napier. Florida (2-3, 1-1 SEC) is coming off of a 29-21 triumph over then-No. 9 Texas at home. The Gators had lost three-straight games prior to that with South Florida, LSU and Miami all coming out victorious. The Gators play at No. 5 Texas A&M this week in their fourth-straight game against a top 10 team.
