Georgia Bulldogs Secure Fifth Consecutive Win Over Florida Gators in Close 24-20 Match

The Georgia Bulldogs secured their fifth consecutive victory over the Florida Gators with a close 24-20 win in Jacksonville, maintaining their dominance in the rivalry. Georgia's quarterback Gunner Stockton threw two touchdown passes and completed 20 of 29 attempts for 223 yards, while Zachariah Branch caught 10 passes for 112 yards, and Chauncey Bowens scored a decisive late 36-yard touchdown run. Florida, playing under interim coach Billy Gonzales following the firing of Billy Napier, showed resilience and took a 20-17 lead late in the game but failed to capitalize on key opportunities, including a critical fourth-and-1 stop by Georgia's defense. The Bulldogs overcame a slow start and multiple penalties, demonstrating their characteristic strength in the second half to secure a come-from-behind victory. Despite Florida's inspired play and notable contributions from receiver Eugene Wilson III, Georgia's defense held firm in the final minutes to preserve their winning streak. This matchup, known as "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," was marked by high stakes and intense competition, with Georgia remaining a top-five team nationally as they prepare for their next game at Mississippi State.
