UGA then proceeded to reel off 7 consecutive wins over the Gators and 22 wins in the first 25 games. However, Florida started dominating in its own right when Steve Spurrier came to Gainesville in 1990. Spurrier&#8217;s Gators beat Georgia 7 consecutive years to start his tenure, including winning 11 of the 12 games during his Gators career. The lone loss came in 1997 when UGA handed Spurrier&#8217;s Gators a 37-17 loss. Once Spurrier left Florida, the Bulldogs started winning a few more games.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2024, Georgia has now won 6 of the last 7 games and doesn&#8217;t look it&#8217;s stopping anytime soon. Florida is rebuilding its program under Billy Napier, while Kirby Smart has his UGA program on autopilot loaded with top-tier talent, having won the 2021 and 2022 national championships.<\/p>\n<h3>Last 5 Florida vs. Georgia Games<\/h3>\n<div class=\"gamesgroup\">\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag georgia-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">GEORGIA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">43<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag florida-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">FLORIDA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">20<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">TIAA Bank Field - Oct. 28, 2023<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag georgia-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">GEORGIA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag florida-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">FLORIDA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">20<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">TIAA Bank Field - Oct. 29, 2022<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag georgia-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">GEORGIA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">34<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag florida-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">FLORIDA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">7<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">TIAA Bank Field - Oct. 30, 2021<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag florida-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">FLORIDA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">44<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag georgia-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">GEORGIA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">28<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">TIAA Bank Field - Nov. 7, 2020<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gamesnapshot\">\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag georgia-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">GEORGIA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">24<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article\">\n<div class=\"flag\"><span class=\"team-icon team-flag florida-football-icon\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago\">FLORIDA<\/div>\n<div class=\"timeago score\">17<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rightcol-article gamedetails\">\n<div class=\"timeago date\">TIAA Bank Field - Nov. 2, 2019<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><BR><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>.gamesnapshot { width:18%;
