Florida Football Backbreakers: Stetson Bennett regains control
2nd & 12 at UGA 31
(2:11 – 3rd) Stetson Bennett pass complete to Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint for 19 yds to the 50 yard line for a 1ST down
Win Probability – 90% UGA to 93%
The metric never gave Florida much of a chance in this game. At kickoff, Georgia was favored by over 90%, and the first half also served as confirmation bias toward that percentage.
Down 28-3 to start the second half, Trevor Etienne ran for a touchdown. Then Adam Mihalek kicked a field goal. And when Richardson hit Xzaiver Henderson for a 78-yard touchdown, the score was 28-20 and there was a faint bit of hope that the Gators could actually pull off the upset.
As was the case all season, the defense couldn’t hold. On a 2nd and 12, Stetson Bennett hit Marcus Rosemy, a junior with 22 career catches prior to this point, for 19 yards.
The Bulldogs were in the endzone three plays later, and that was that.
