Florida chomping at the bit to ‘beat FSU’

Florida hasn’t beaten rival Florida State since 2012 and has lost five of the last six meetings altogether, but the Gators are looking to change the series’ direction Saturday after clinching the SEC East division in an upset win over LSU last week.

They’ll have to do so as seven-point underdogs as this one is in Tallahassee.

Fans are encouraged to help “#BeatFSU” by participating in the ESPN College Football Hype Video Showdown:

Last season, UF fell at home to the Seminoles 27-2 and proceeded to get beat by Alabama in the conference championship and then Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. This time around, coach Jim McElwain is hoping to flip the switch with a five-game winning streak instead.

The two Florida teams will collide at 8 p.m. ET Saturday night on ABC.
