Nine takeaways from the No. 6 Florida Gators 24-17 loss to the No. 8 Georgia Bulldogs
3rd down defense / 3rd down offense
This is certainly the most glaring stat after the game and probably, if not absolutely, the one that determined the game.
Georgia converted on 12-of-18 (67%) of their third-down opportunities. Jake Fromm was 10-13 for 119 yards and a touchdown on third down. It was an absolutely miserable and forgettable performance for the Gators’ defense on third downs Saturday in Jacksonville. There was no answer for Georgia. The inability to get off the field led to Georgia running 36 plays in the first half to Florida’s 18.
