Georgia's defense forced three interceptions of Carson Beck in a dominant performance that allowed the Bulldogs to retain the belt with a 34-20 victory over Florida. The Gators struck first with a 43-yard touchdown pass from DJ Lagway to Aidan Mizell in the second quarter, but Georgia responded with a pair of field goals from Peyton Woodring, including a remarkable 53-yarder just before halftime that was matched by Florida's Trey Smack. The game was decided in the third quarter when Georgia scored two touchdowns in rapid succession—a 2-yard run by Nate Frazier capped a drive that benefited from a devastating 31-yard loss by Florida on a fumble, followed by a 22-yard touchdown pass from Beck to Cash Jones—to build an insurmountable lead. Georgia's defense continued to suffocate Florida's offense throughout, holding the Gators to just 259 total yards and forcing them into third-down desperation all game long, ultimately securing belt retention with a dominant defensive effort.
