Grammy award winning artist Travis Tritt tweeted his excitement for Georgia’s early lead over the Florida Gators.

Tritt called the game ‘spectacular’ after Sony Michel scored on a 74-yard run.

Georgia scored on its first three possessions, and the musician from Marietta had no sympathy for the Gators being shut out in the first quarter.

Tritt added that his son, Tristan, is the only Gator fan in his family.
