It’s getting ugly early in Jacksonville, thanks to Sony Michel.

The senior running back burst through the hole and ran 74 yards to the end zone. No Gator defender had any chance at bringing him down.

Michel is part of a senior class that’s never beaten Florida. He’s trying to make sure they don’t finish 0-4.

Georgia is up on rival Florida 21-0 just midway through the first quarter. And the Bulldogs aren’t showing any signs of taking their foot off the gas.
