JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—Daijun Edwards and Kenny McIntosh ran for two touchdowns each, and No. 1 Georgia pulled away from Florida following a second-half scare to win 42–20 Saturday night in the rivalry dubbed “the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.”

The defending national champion Bulldogs (8–0, 5–0 Southeastern Conference) looked to be in trouble when the Gators (4–4, 1–4) scored the first 17 points of the third quarter and turned a 28–3 deficit into a one-score game.
