Jacksonville, FL - The Florida Gators fall to rival Georgia losing 17 - 9 at the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party at EverBank Field today.

 

Jarvis Jones led the Georgia defense with three sacks and two forced fumbles to push the Bulldogs to a victory and shut down the Gators ground game.  Florida racks up their first loss of the season and Georgia eyes a possible SEC Championship Game.  Georgia faces Ole Miss and Auburn to round out their conference play.

 

John Driskel of Florida threw two interceptions, while Georgia's Aaron Murray threw three interceptions during the first half of this SEC matchup.  Murray's 45-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell put the Bulldogs ahead and secured the win.
