Florida first-year football coach Jon Sumrall has inherited quite the unique circumstance in his inaugural Southeastern Conference opportunity against rival Georgia.

Taking on the Bulldogs in Atlanta.

The 105th meeting between the two will transpire for the first time in the Peach State’s capital city, with Mercedes-Benz Stadium being the site. The home of the Atlanta Falcons is hosting this year’s pairing due to renovations at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, with the matchup shifting to Tampa next year.

Tickets for Saturday’s showdown (3:30 p.m. on ABC) will be evenly distributed between the two schools as they are annually, but will this have the feel of a road game for the Gators?
