Mullen got over the hump, even if he says there never was one

Only two Florida coaches, Will Muschamp and Charlie Pell, lost to Georgia three times in a row.

Saturday, coach Dan Mullen faced the chances of making the illustrious list gaining on him faster than DK Metcalf hunting down a potential pick-six, and beat UGA for the first time as a head coach 44-28. Was he worried about getting over the hump?

“Uh, I don't know about that,” Mullen said.

For three years, Georgia stood as the Southeastern Conference’s East Division gatekeeper. Those bold enough to approach the Bulldogs met the risk of being bit. For the first time leading the Gators, Mullen’s team bit back.
