The Florida Gators face the Georgia Bulldogs in a rivalry game. Georgia needs this game to keep rolling ahead of a brutal stretch at the end. Meanwhile, UF interim head coach Billy Gonzales eyes a potential bowl bid, provided the Gators reach six victories.

In the first game since Billy Napier’s firing, Florida’s problems remained, as late drives and penalties led to a painful loss to No. 5 Georgia.

The Gators did play hard, as they did for Billy Napier, but statistically, not much changed from a lot of Florida’s other performances.

After 30 minutes of play, the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators are tied in Jacksonville for 'The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.'

Trailing 20-17 midway through the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 SEC) came up with a huge fourth-down stop inside their own 20-yard line. Moments later, Chauncey Bowens then knifed his way through the Gators defense on a 36-yard touchdown run to take the lead.

The Gators (3-5, 2-3 SEC) come up just short in pulling off an upset over No. 5 Georgia as UF fell 24-20 to its bitter rival at EverBank Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 1.

The Florida Gators suffered a loss to rival Georgia for the fifth year in a row. The last two games have seen the team show poise and even be in the driver's seat at times for a win, but they've yet to get over the top.
