Florida Gators fall to Georgia in Jacksonville

The Florida Gators (7-2, 4-2) lost to the Georgia Bulldogs (7-1, 4-1) in Jacksonville on Saturday in game that was dominated by Georgia from the start.

Florida’s defense wasn’t able to get off the field on third down for much of the game and that was the difference for Georgia.

With the Gators loss, Florida is all but eliminated from winning the SEC Eastern Division championship barring the Bulldogs losing two more games this year.
