No. 3 Georgia thumps rival Florida 42-7 in 'Cocktail Party'

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Sony Michel slipped through the line untouched, sprinted past several defenders and then spun into the end zone. The rout was on, and the losing streak was essentially over. Michel put third-ranked Georgia up big early and put Florida away late, scoring on two long runs in a 42-7 drubbing Saturday that might have been the final game for Gators coach Jim McElwain. It was Florida's most lopsided loss in the series since a 44-0 shutout in 1982. Michel finished with 137 yards rushing on just six carries and helped the Bulldogs remain unbeaten and in control in the Southeastern Conference's Eastern Division. Nick Chubb also scored for Georgia (8-0, 5-0 SEC), which started 8-0 for the first time since 2002 and ended a three-game losing streak in "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party." "This meant a lot to get a win," linebacker Lorenzo Carter said.
