As the week went on, there was a surprising amount of confidence coming from the side of this rivalry that entered the game as a two-touchdown underdog.
The reason? Florida’s feel-good win over a team that is now 2-6 two weeks ago.
Man, how low can we all go?
That confidence probably grew with a first drive for a touchdown, but it all evaporated in a terrible run of bad plays and bad luck as Florida was (basically) eliminated from the SEC East race with Georgia winning 43-20.
Jacksonville native Carson Beck lit up the Gators for 313 passing yards and Florida had a third quarter that was so lethargic that people were turning it over to watch “Two and A Half Men” re-runs.
Or was that just me?
It was bad. And no real surprise. Georgia has won two national titles since last losing to Florida and the Gators have been a .500 team since that game in 2020.
And that’s what it looked like Saturday in Jacksonville. The Dooley Six-Pack takes a look at the ugliness that transpired.
