Ten most memorable games in Georgia-Florida football rivalry (espn.com)

10. Nov. 1, 1997: Georgia 37, Florida 17

Under second-year coach Jim Donnan, the Bulldogs defeated the Gators, the defending national champions, for the first and only time when Spurrier was their coach. Georgia, a 20-point underdog, beat Florida for the first time since 1989 and denied Spurrier his 100th victory as a college coach. Georgia tailback Robert Edwards ran for 124 yards with four touchdowns. Spurrier played three different quarterbacks in the game after Doug Johnson was benched for throwing two interceptions in the first half. Noah Brindise and Jesse Palmer each threw picks in the second half. "I just want to say to all Dogs fans that we've been waiting a long time for this," Donnan said afterward. "Everybody has been telling me since I got there, 'I hope we can beat Florida.' I'm pleased we did."

The funniest thing about UF latching on to him so hard is the lack of credible evidence Tom Petty ever gave two turds about football in general or the Florida Gators in particular.  He did say after his superbowl halftime performance when asked who he was rooting for that they didn't care, they were Gators.  His brother also says he'd watch Florida bowl games with him in later years, though more as a "let's hang out" rather than "I'm a fan."  His family seems to be UF fans, so that's something I guess.  At any rate, I'd claim him too.  Tom Petty was a cool dude.

Kind of amazing that since Spurrier left, Florida leads the series 11-9.  
I would not have guessed that. 
Urbs 'n Tebow are only 2 of those wins, as he lost in Jax during his Heisman year (noooo defense).

I think it was more related to wanting to "take the next step", and appearing to have plateaued with Richt, not Florida per se.

that's no way to talk "This week"

but, I'm sure eliminating a loss to Florida is a step in the right direction

I was a bit surprised to see UGA overcame a 20 point line in 1997 to win one.  That worries me today.

This game worries me.
