Replay Stands as No. 5 Georgia Edges Florida 24-20 in Jacksonville

Replay upheld on Florida's final drive leaves an interim-led team needing a 3-1 finish to become bowl eligible.

Overview

  • Georgia mounted a seven-play, 82-yard drive capped by Chauncey Bowens’ 36-yard run with 4:36 left to take the lead.
  • Officials ruled DJ Lagway’s deep pass to J. Michael Sturdivant incomplete, and replay found no clear evidence to overturn the call.
  • Florida competed under interim coach Billy Gonzales following Billy Napier’s Oct. 19 ouster, with play-calling reassigned to analyst Ryan O’Hara.
  • Kicker Trey Smack hit a 54-yard field goal to set a program mark with nine makes from 50 yards or longer.
  • The loss is Florida’s fifth straight to Georgia and means the Gators must finish 3-1, including a win over Ole Miss or Tennessee, to reach a bowl.
