The last time Florida was shutout was back on October 29, 1988, when they lost to the Auburn Tigers, 16-0.

Georgia came extremely close to shutting out the Gators in 2017 when the Dawgs allowed a last-minute TD. Georgia won, 42-7.

TCU, Virginia Tech, and UGA follow the Gators with the longest streaks of not being shutout.

Here's a tidbit for you: the last shutout loss for every SEC team was to another SEC opponent.

Florida kicking a 40 yard FG down 30-0 with :37 left in the bowl game vs Oregon State was a bitch move last year by Sun Belt Billy.

It's hard to get shut out.

Speaking of long streaks...

Georgia's last regular season loss was Vs. Florida in 2020

And what exactly would you have done, Coach Blutarsky?

4th and 10, down 30-0, with a team that had 1/2 the starters opt out, what's your call?

Easy to criticize from the bleachers.

how long are theirs in comparison?

and FU for the wannabe jinx thread


ETA: for the record, that fg kick by Billy in the bowl game was one of his best coaching decisions thus far

I guarantee you that was the biggest celebration for a team losing by 4 TDs ever. Definitely played some Petty on the bus ride back to the airport.

Covid season.

Nothing counts that year.

It was South Carolina 2019.

UF will score a good amount of points, I just hope UGA scores more!

There's 59 minutes and 60 seconds in every game. No one gaf when (during this timeframe) points are scored.

I'd say that the Gators will score about 17 this Saturday.

While I doubt that the game will be a blowout, Georgia will simply wear down the Gators with depth.
