after having to punt on the opening possession of the second half for the gators, the florida defense quickly gave the ball back into the hands of tim tebow. florida sophomore db joe haden intercepted a matthew stafford pass and returned it 88 yards to the georgia 1-yard line. tim tebow scored a td on the resulting run extending florida's lead to 21-3. georgia continued to struggle on offense and their next drive resulted in a punt. tim tebow connected with senior wr louis murphy on a 44-yard pass to bring the score to 28-3 with a little more than 5 minutes remaining in the third quarter. turnovers continued with georgia after knowshon moreno fumbled the ball, which was picked up by florida dt terron sanders. tim tebow ran the ball in for a touchdown on the following change of possession—his third rushing td of the game and 40th of his career. matthew stafford's turnovers continued with back-to-back interceptions by gator linebacker dustin doe and gator db ahmad black. while unable to capitalize on the dustin doe interception, the gators scored a td off of ahmad black's interception with only one play, a 25-yard tim tebow pass to percy harvin. the lead extended to 42-3 at this point. redshirt freshman quarterback john brantley took over the offense in the fourth quarter for tim tebow. john brantley and the gators put together a 66-yard drive finishing with a touchdown pass to redshirt freshman wr deonte thompson. the gators lead extended to a game high 46 points, 49-3, with still half of a quarter to play. after replacing matthew stafford with quarterback joe cox, the bulldogs were able to score a touchdown with a little more than 3 minutes left in regulation. this would bring the final score to 49-10. although the gators finished the game with 25 less yards of offense (398 vs. 373), the gators were able to force four turnovers (1 fumble, 3 interceptions) and capitalized off of them. presumably as revenge for the 2007 bulldog celebration, meyer used up his timeouts in the last minute of the fourth quarter.
