JACKSONVILLE, FLA.– Having climbed to a No. 6 national ranking and seeming to have all the momentum heading into Saturday’s huge SEC East battle with arch-rival Georgia, the Florida Gators rudely had that momentum snatched away by the 8th-ranked Bulldogs at TIAA Bank Field.
Dominating the lines of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, the Bulldogs compiled right at 400 yards of offense while limiting the supposedly high-powered Gator offense to 278 yards, including a meager 21 yards net rushing en route to a 24-17 win that wasn’t quite as close as that final tally might indicate.
