It's the last time the Florida-Georgia rivalry game will be played in Jacksonville until 2028. The Florida Gators (3-4, 2-2 SEC) host the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 SEC) at 3:45 p.m. Saturday at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. Follow along for live updates.

Q4 | 8:36 - In what was arguably their most important play call of the entire season, Florida decided to run a QB keeper with DJ Lagway on 3rd and 2. That's despite Billy Napier saying Lagway was limited as a runner a couple weeks ago.
Q4 | 10:25 - Florida earns a crucial third down. They're marching downfield and on the 27-yard line after a three-yard gain from Jadan Baugh. A very important drive that could make this a 10-point game with a touchdown.
Q4 | 12:00 - Florida is moving the ball down field and is already in Georgia territory after four plays.
END OF THE THIRD: Florida 17, Georgia 17
SCORE: Q3 | 3:37 - Jadan Baugh punches it in from two yards out. Tied ballgame in Jacksonville.
Florida orchestrated that drive largely off the mistakes of Georgia. A 15-play drive was continued on third down when Georgia committed a DPI penalty in the end zone.

SCORE: Q3 | 10:46 - Gunner Stockton finds Noah Thomas for a 22-yard touchdown pass. Thomas made a nice adjustment to catch the ball behind him while being draped by a defender.
Q3 | 13:20 - The Gators drive fizzles out immediately. Three-and-out Florida.
Q3 | 14:52 - Florida begins its opening drive on the 38-yard line after a nice return by Jadan Baugh.
HALFTIME: Georgia 10, Florida 10
The Bulldogs nailed a 39-yard field goal going into half. It's shocking that this game is neck-and-neck considering the disparity in time of possession. Florida has had the ball for 9:45 and Georgia for 20:03. Gators have just six first downs and Bulldogs have 12.
Q2 | 0:17 - The play was deemed an incomplete pass. More time was added on the clock.
Q2 | 0:10 - Officials are reviewing to see if Gunner Stockton fumbled the ball or threw a forward pass on third down. The Gators recovered the ball and it would set them up at their own 35-yard line.

Q2 | 6:10 - Georgia elected to go for it on fourth-and-8, but the play was nulled due to a rare false start penalty that didn't result in the play immediately being halted. The Bulldogs operated as if it an offsides call by the Gators and tossed it downfield like it was a free play.
Q2 | 7:39 - A costly holding penalty on third down pushes Georgia back 10 yards to a third-and-15 situation. The Bulldogs would've had the ball just outside the red zone.

Florida 7, Georgia 7

SCORE: Q1 | 10:53 - Gunner Stockton finds Dillon Bell in the end zone for an 8-yard score. The PAT is good.
