Dan Mullen Takes Shot at Georgia During SEC Media Days

Florida head coach Dan Mullen addressed the media Monday as the SEC Media Days kicked off in Hoover, Ala., and took a shot at Georgia.

The rivalry between Georgia and Florida has a special place in the hearts of both respective fan bases. Needless to say, there's very little loved lost between the two. 

Florida head coach Dan Mullen addressed the media Monday as the SEC Media Days kicked off in Hoover, Ala. When asked about his thoughts on Georgia being predicted to win the SEC East by the overwhelming majority of the media, Mullen didn't disappoint. 

He answered, "Didn't they say that last year?"

Mullen then said people shouldn't forget that Florida is the defending SEC East champions. 

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart had a recent streak of dominance over the division -rival Gators, winning three straight from 2017 to 2019 by an average margin of 20.3 points per game. However, the Gators and Mullen got the better of them in 2020, winning 44-28 in Jacksonville on their way to the SEC East division title and a trip to the SEC Championship Game. 

Florida ultimately lost the championship game to Alabama, and played in a New Year's Six bowl game losing to Oklahoma. 

Heading into the 2021 season, Florida has "a lot of change coming" offensively according to Mullen. He stated that with a new quarterback and the loss of their top-three weapons on that offense, they are going to look a lot different this season. 

However, despite the changes to Florida on offense, not much is expected to change in terms of the importance of the matchup between the Gators and Bulldogs in Jacksonville. As it has for the last four seasons, it's expected that game will determine the SEC East.
