All things considered...

While I'd rather have the double bye, I don't think playing the night before will affect us much against Georgia the next day. I think the fatigue factor affects a team much more when you are playing your 3rd game in 3 days, or your 4th game in 4 days. Against Georgia, I'm fine with getting a game in first and letting them come in cold after sitting around an extra day.

It would be nice of course to take care of business against Florida the night before and give the starters some extended rest, and get some of the reserves more time. The lack of offensive production from the bench is one of my biggest concerns from here on out. Along with turnovers and lack of composure against the press. Everything else about this team is built for success in the pressure of a conference or national tournament.
