The Georgia Bulldogs handled their rivalry showdown with the Florida Gators on Saturday afternoon by a 27-8 score.<\/p>\n
UGA overpowered the Gators in the first half to create enough separation needed for a comfortable second half.<\/p>\n
Georgia asserted its dominance throughout the first half. Its offense scored three touchdowns in the first 30 minutes and its defense held Florida scoreless.<\/p>\n
Nate Frazier scored UGA’s first touchdown on the ground from a yard out.<\/p>\n
Bo Walker’s touchdown run extended the advantage to 17 points in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
UGA’s defense opened up the lead with a fumble recovery for a touchdown with 29 seconds left in the half.<\/p>\n
Neither team did much of anything on offense in the second half.<\/p>\n
UGA kicked a field goal and Florida produced a late touchdown to avoid the shutout.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s win put Georgia’s CFB Playoff hopes back on track. The Bulldogs still have to get past Ole Miss next week to feel comfortable about their playoff hopes.<\/p>\n
Georgia likely won’t move at all in Sunday’s AP Top 25 because there were no upsets across the country in Week 9 as of the late afternoon games.<\/p>\n
Florida’s third loss of the regular season effectively eliminated it from the playoff conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Georgia Bulldogs handled their rivalry showdown with the Florida Gators on Saturday afternoon by a 27-8 score.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":443913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-443912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=443912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/443913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=443912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=443912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=443912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
