Florida vs. Georgia: Live updates, score, highlights
Bitter border rivals Florida and No. 2 Georgia will meet in Jacksonville at 3:30 p.m. on ABC for what was once dubbed the ‘World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.’ The Bulldogs have owned the series of late, winning six of the last seven meetings.
The lone non-Alabama team to beat Kirby Smart’s team in the last four years? The Gators in 2020.
Both teams are coming off an idle date, as Georgia is two weeks removed from upsetting No. 1 Texas in Austin, while Florida is playing its best ‘ball under embattled head coach Billy Napier, who potentially needs a Hail Mary win over UGA to save his job.
With a win Saturday, the Bulldogs would keep pace in the race for the SEC Championship, as well as be ranked inside the Top 5 of the initial 12-team College Football Playoff Rankings coming Tuesday.

The Bulldogs marched 80 yards inside UF’s 5-yard line, but they couldn’t punch it into the end zone and were forced to settle for a chip-shot field goal. Carson Beck was sharp on several throws before a tipped pass on 3rd-down ended the drive. The Jacksonville native has opened the game 8 of 13 for 94 yards.

Not many early fireworks to start the first quarter. Georgia went with a quick-game, run-based approach on its opening possession, picking up a couple first downs before Carson Beck missed Cash Jones on a deep wheel-route for a potential touchdown. After a punt that backed UF inside its 15-yard line, the Gators got one first down before their first drive stalled.

Florida vs. Georgia injury/availability updates
11/2/2024, 2:26:08 PM
Both SEC rivals have key players on the mend. Florida announced earlier in the week that top corner Jason Marshall would be out the rest of the season, while wideout Eugene Wilson III would also miss Saturday’s game.
Two UF starters running back Montrell Johnson Jr. and offensive lineman Dameion George Jr., are game-time decisions after being listed as questionable all week. Johnson and George went through pregame warmups in shirts and shorts 90 minutes before kickoff.
As for the Bulldogs, they will be without two secondary starters in the first half thanks to targeting penalties in the win over Texas (nickel Joenel Aguero and safety Dan Jackson). They did list defensive tackle Jordan Hall, a former 5-star recruit from Jacksonville who’s been hurt all season, as probable. All-American guard Tate Ratledge was also deemed probable to play after missing Georgia’s last four games.
