Did Florida just have the worst 3 minutes in SEC history against Georgia?
By Keith Farner
Published:
Florida had a disaster of a three-minute stretch late in the first half against Georgia as the Bulldogs ran up a 24-0 lead at halftime.
Anthony Richardson had a fumble and 2 interceptions, as Nolan Smith, Nakobe Dean and the Georgia defense showed why it’s the best unit in the country. The first 2 plays setup one-play scoring drives for Georgia, and Dean’s interception resulted in a pick-6 that traveled 50 yards. All with 2:16 remaining in the first half.
The 3 plays erased what was a relatively even first half, as each team missed field goals early on, and Georgia led by 3-0 before the onslaught of turnovers. Florida otherwise was 2-for-8 on third and fourth down, and collected 147 total yards in the first half.
