No. 3 Georgia defeated No. 17 Florida 27-8 on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, capitalizing on four Florida turnovers to secure its sixth consecutive win in the rivalry. Chris Cole returned a fumble recovery 66 yards for a touchdown, his second long return of the season, after Tramell Jones Jr. lost the ball late in the first half. Georgia outrushed Florida 217-48, with Bo Walker and Nate Frazier each adding 1-yard scoring runs to build a 24-0 halftime lead.
Florida quarterback Aaron Philo struggled in his return from a shoulder injury, throwing two interceptions before being benched; Jones replaced him but also lost a fumble and threw an interception in the end zone. Jadan Baugh, who entered the game leading the SEC with 13 rushing touchdowns, was held to 38 yards on 17 carries. The game, traditionally held in Jacksonville, was moved to Atlanta due to stadium renovations, with next year's matchup scheduled for Tampa Bay.
