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

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 leaving for the locker room in the final minutes of the first half, Florida Gators ’ talented freshman wide receiver Dallas Wilson returned with the team without a helmet to start the third quarter against the Georgia Bulldogs, likely signaling he will miss the rest of the contest.

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.

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.

Florida may have come up on the short end of a controversial officiating call, but they had plenty of opportunities to win.
