Heggie’s thoughts
Heggie seems very confident in the Gators that they can get past Georgia defense. When asked how important it will be to hit some deep balls around Bulldog defense, Heggie states that as long as Felipe makes plays with the regular game plan, the Gators are gonna be fine.
The Gators are in desperate need of a win after there last two consecutive loses against LSU and Texas A&M. When asked how much a win against Georgia would change things for the team and the direction of the season, Heggie stresses that no matter when it comes a win is a win. He says we can’t focus on the past anymore that the team has to move forward.
Heggie also mentioned freshman running back Malik Davis. Davis has shown great consistency on offense, where the team has struggled.
