Recap

Florida seized the belt in Jacksonville with a 34-31 victory over Georgia in a back-and-forth affair that was decided in the fourth quarter. The Gators dominated the first half, scoring on four straight possessions to build a 28-7 lead by halftime, with Chris Rainey punching in a 20-yard touchdown run and Jeffery Demps and Trey Burton adding short touchdown runs. Georgia's Aaron Murray connected with Tavarres King on a 63-yard touchdown strike in the second quarter, but the Bulldogs trailed significantly at the break. Georgia stormed back in the second half with Washaun Ealey's 4-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and Murray's 29-yard touchdown pass to Orson Charles pulling them within three points, but Florida's defense held firm in the final moments as the Gators captured the lineal championship.

Chris Rainey's 20-yard TD run in Q2 opened the scoring and set the tone for Florida's dominant first-half offensive explosion
Jeffery Demps and Trey Burton's back-to-back short TD runs pushed Florida to a commanding 28-7 halftime lead
Aaron Murray's 29-yard TD pass to Orson Charles in Q4 brought Georgia within three but came too late to catch the Gators
Florida's defense and time management in the final minutes preserved the victory and the belt
