JACKSONVILLE − A glassy-eyed Billy Gonzales took the podium following Florida football 's 24-20 loss to rival Georgia that exposed familiar fourth-quarter problems.

But the No. 5 Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 SEC), who have lived dangerously throughout the 2025 season, summoned enough resolve, capping a seven play, 82-yard TD drive with a go-ahead run by running back Chauncey Bowens with 4:36 remaining to go ahead 24-20.
