VIDEO FLASHBACK: Vince Dooley's Bulldogs Knock Off No. 1 Florida (1985)

Galen Hall's Florida Gators entered the game undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation for the first time in school history. The Gator's were coming off a big victory over No. 6 Auburn who, led by the swift feet of running back Bo Jackson, were poised to make a run at the SEC Championship that season—if not for an unfortunate hiccup against Tennessee in week three.

Despite the play of Florida quarterback Kerwin Bell, who racked up better then 400 yards passing on the day, the Gators had no answer for the Georgia Bulldog's defense as they held the Gators to three-points on the day while Georgia's offense, led by the legs of Keith Henderson and Tim Worley, found their groove on the ground.

Although Hall's Gators were neither bowl nor SEC Championship eligible, they ended the season 9-1-1 with Georgia being their only blemish.

It was a good win for the Bulldogs who finished the 1985 season with a 7-3-2 record—tying Arizona in the Sun Bowl.
