Aside from winning a national championship, there’s not too much better than asserting your dominance on your most hated rival.
On Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs moved to 8-0 with a 42-20 win over the Florida Gators.
It was a game of runs in Jacksonville. Georgia held a 28-3 halftime lead before Florida scored 17 unanswered to cut it 28-20. The Dawgs then scored the final 14 points of the game to give Georgia another win over the Gators.
Stetson Bennett was phenomenal in the first half before a rough third quarter. He finished the game with 316 yards and two touchdowns on 19 of 38 passing. He threw two interceptions.
Brock Bowers was the player of the game, reeling in five catches for 154 yards and a touchdown. Daijun Edwards had 106 rushing yards and Kenny McIntosh had 90 of his own.
Georgia outgained Florida 555-371.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Dawgs winning another one in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party….

I love the sight of those teal seats on the Florida side. I’ll never get tired of it. All of those years younger me sat in here with a broken heart. pic.twitter.com/Yu3RyE9Vtv

42-20 in Jacksonville! And, as Smart said: "This win goes to Coach Dooley."

Georgia has now won 8-of-12 games against Florida in Jacksonville. During that span the Dawgs have won a National Championship.
The "Florida owns Jacksonville" era is LONG GONE. You'll have to pull out the history books and the VCRs to re-live that. #GoDawgs🍸

I just turned off the cocktail party to turn on Kentucky vs. Tennessee. That shows you how much Florida matters.
