No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs Rally for 24-20 Win Over Florida Gators

The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs narrowly defeated the Florida Gators 24-20 in a closely contested rivalry game in Jacksonville, marking Georgia's fifth consecutive win over Florida. Georgia struggled to maintain offensive momentum early but managed a late rally with a critical fourth-down defensive stop and a 36-yard touchdown run by Chauncey Bowens in the fourth quarter to seize the lead. Florida, playing under interim coach Billy Gonzales following the firing of Billy Napier, showed resilience but fell short due in part to a late underthrown deep pass that could have changed the game's outcome. Georgia's quarterback Gunner Stockton threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns, with strong contributions from receiver Zachariah Branch and running backs Bowens and Nate Frazier. The game featured controversial officiating decisions that favored Georgia, sparking frustration among Florida fans. Despite the close call, Georgia remains a strong contender in the SEC, continuing a pattern of late-game comebacks this season.
