Anyone that is interested in Georgia's football likely found themselves wondering about the future of the Bulldogs following their most recent battle, a game against the Florida Gators. The Gators simply happened to be commanding all throughout the entire game, and they further widened the gap between these two rival programs. This was the 17th loss out of the last 20 games for Georgia. Georgia needed to be able to find some kind of edge, or they had to be able to land a first punch. They had to be able to withstand the Florida Gators' initial blow and then somehow find a way to counter. But none of this seemed to happen.
Coming out with black helmets and black pants was supposed to be able to provide some extra juice according to the coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, Mark Richt.
Florida managed to get the ball rolling by scoring an initial 14 points. Georgia had four penalties in the first quarter alone, and by the time half time rolled around, Florida was in the lead with 24 to 10. The Bulldogs had managed to move the ball, scoring a bit and slowing down the offense on Florida's side, but they could not manage to make a comeback no matter how they tried. The notion was essentially stomped into the dust after four interceptions during the second half. Georgia was not without their moments, but they simply could not stack up their offense against Florida to make enough scores, or their defense to prevent Florida from piling on the points.
Georgia needed to achieve another score or another stop, but it didn't happen. The Gators seemed to be against the idea of slipping, not even for a moment. Losing 17 out of the last 20 games really wreaks havoc when you consider the psyche of the Bulldogs, and it doesn't even really seem as if this is a rivalry anymore.
The team responsible for doing all of the winning, the Florida Gators, simply appears to be bigger and faster and stronger. Every play has been spun positively in the favor of the Gators, even those that were in Georgia's favor. Everything is compared and contrasted between the teams, but it always seems to be depressing for the Georgia team since they have not been able to hold up their end of the rivalry in quite a while.
If Tim Tebow wasn't playing some fine football, Georgia may have had a chance. Unfortunately, limiting this quarterback is hard, and he is certainly doing a lot of work on the field. He threw two touch downs, ran two touch downs and just performed superbly throughout the game. Georgia simply could not stack up against the power of the Gators, and so the rivalry continues in the Gators' favor.
