Playing in Atlanta for the first time due to a $1.4 billion Ever Bank Stadium renovation, the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs defeated the No. 17 Florida Gators 27-8 on Saturday. The victory erased the memory of a stunning home loss to unranked Auburn two weeks prior. Georgia forced four turnovers, held Florida to only 54 rushing yards, and recorded four sacks.
The Bulldogs won their sixth straight game over Florida, improving to 9-2 under coach Kirby Smart. It marked Georgia's most dominant stretch in the series since winning six straight from 1978 to 1983. Georgia ran for 217 yards and went 4-for-5 in the red zone.
Florida committed eight penalties for 78 yards and three turnovers. Quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. scored late, but it was too late to change the outcome. The Gators' NCAA-record 481-game points streak remains intact.
