JACKSONVILLE — The Florida Gators lost their fourth game this season to a top-five team on Saturday, and it was the closest they came to win. UF took a three-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but No. 5 Georgia pulled out a 24-20 victory with a game-winning drive and two turnovers on downs.

After the game, I was joined by Gators Online’s Keith Niebuhr to break it all down. In the video above, we share our rapid reaction to the Florida Gators’ loss to the Bulldogs.

Billy Gonzales on the Florida Gators’ 24-20 loss

“First and foremost, I thought the players played extremely hard. Thought they fought. Proud of them. They did not quit. I told you guys before they do not have quit in their DNA.

Obviously we’re not here for moral victories. We came up short and we came here to win. So we have to continue to work to get better.

Overall, this group of men in there, just had a chance to talk with, I told them I respect them. I respect them for the way they handled change over the past week. Respect them how resilient they’ve been over the past week. I respect how they’ve responded and taken ownership of this team.

I’m extremely proud of them. But I know they’re hurting, our staff is hurting, I’m hurting. We came here to win and we fell short.

Gators expect a winner, so we have to get ready to get back to work. Got four more games ready to roll we can win. We have to continue to get better in all facets of the game.”
