When I attended Florida in the years that spanned the end of the Ron Zook era and beginning of the Urban Meyer era, UF was still able to win most games over Georgia one way or another. They weren’t always pretty, but they were still Ws.
UGA did get to pick off the Gators after Zook was fired in ’04, but even that required the Bulldogs scoring points in the fourth quarter to hang onto the lead. One of the stranger games in the series happened the following year in ’05, which ended up Florida’s 14th win in 16 games.
