The Florida Gators started off strong against Georgia on Saturday, but everything went wrong after the opening drive in the 43-20 loss.
The Bulldogs settled for a field goal at first and then rattled off three straight touchdowns. Florida’s defense had no answer for Georgia. Carson Beck finished the day with more than 300 passing yards, Daijun Edwards averaged almost 6.0 yards per carry and Ladd McConkey carved up the Florida secondary for 135 receiving yards.
Receiver Eugene “Tre” Wilson II provided a spark for the Gators on offense, but he was limited after a strong first drive. Billy Napier stuck to his usual game plan of screens of short throws, but Kirby Smart’s defense figured things out eventually.
There’s usually more to learn from a loss than a win. Here’s what we took away from Week 9.
