Georgia vs. Florida State in Orange Bowl: How to watch, listen, stream

Georgia and Florida State get set to wrap up their respective 2023 seasons against each other in the 90th playing of the Orange Bowl. Not only will it put an end to the season for the Bulldogs and Seminoles, but it’ll also give one of these teams bragging rights in the battle between the first two teams left out of the College Football Playoffs.

“We’re excited to get down here. We had a Monday practice on Christmas Day, we got a Tuesday practice in this morning. We wanted to get down here so we could get used to the weather a little bit tomorrow, and hopefully avoid rain on Thursday,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said upon arrival in Miami. “But our guys have been great. Had really good practices the last two days. Practice has been a lot better since we came back. Got a lot of midyears here. I’m excited to see how these guys are going to play.”

“We want them to enjoy it. They’ve earned this opportunity. That’s what bowls are. They’re meant to be fun,” he added. “I think our senior class of guys, they really want to finish on top. They want to get to 50 wins for the senior class, we’re at 49. It’s really important to them that they hit that number and do something special. They want to walk off the field winners. Sedrick Van Pran, all these seniors, they want to finish on top.”

As things stand, no Georgia player has officially announced an opt out, although a pair of offensive starters did not arrive with the team earlier in the week. On the flip side, Florida State has several players that are known to not be suiting up. Both teams have been affected by the transfer portal, but the Seminoles absolutely have been hit harder by entries into the NFL Draft.

“We’ve taken the approach of, it’s not about them, it’s about us. We don’t really know, but it doesn’t matter to us. We’re trying to play to our standard, and we’re always trying to play to our standard,” Smart said about trying to prepare for a team that will look different for the most part than they have all season long. “We’ve had a lot more good on good in practice. It’s probably been the best bowl practice in terms of not going against the scout team and going against each other. When you don’t know what you’re going to see, your better off going against really good people. We’ve done a lot of 1s on 2s, 2s on 2s, a lot more 3s on 3s than we ever have with the good depth from the nine, ten, eleven midyears that are there now. We’ve been able to get a lot of depth.”

“I think the kids getting away from our campus and getting sunshine and getting out there and competing. I’m ready to see them play,” he continued. “I mean, I want to see the guys play. There’s a lot of guys that have working their butts off moving up and down the depth chart. We’re probably healthier than we’ve been for the last four or five games of the year. It’s great to see these guys go out and play. I’m really proud of the guys that are dying to go play. Everybody thinks like guys are going to play. Our guys are going to play. Our guys want to play. Our guys are excited to play.”
