Four major takeaways for the Florida Gators after the first half

The Florida Gators to the surprise of many take a commanding 38-21 lead over the Georgia Bulldogs heading into halftime after a wild start.

The Florida Gators — to the surprise of many — take a commanding 38-21 lead over the Georgia Bulldogs heading into halftime after a wild start to the annual rivalry game in Jacksonville, Fla.

Georgia took the lead quickly on the first play from scrimmage and struck again on their second possession, but fizzled out as injuries continued to deplete their roster. Florida’s defense started out looking suspect but tightened down while Kyle Trask found his groove despite throwing a pick-six.

The game crushed the over-under per BetMGM already in the first half, which had the line set at 53.5 points when the game began, with 59 total points scored in the first 30 minutes. Expect more fireworks in the second half, but first, take a look at four major points from the first.
