16. The turnovers that led to three touchdowns in 2:22
The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party gave plenty of memorable moments during the 2021 matchup, but probably the best one was the 2:22 before halftime, where Georgia scored three times with the help of its defense.
That series of plays comes in at No. 16 on this list as it was a pretty incredible feat.
After Florida held them scoreless in the first quarter and most of the second, Georgia needed a spark. After Jack Podlesney kicked a 21-yard field goal, the Dawgs kicked it into overdrive and took advantage of every opportunity.

Nolan Smith started the series of events off by strip-sacking Anthony Richardson and setting up a James Cook 11-yard touchdown run. The next drive for the Gators resulted in an interception from Smith.

That pick set up a 36-yard touchdown throw to Kearis Jackson, making it 17-0.
Nakobe Dean was the final piece of the puzzle as he picked off the Gators after Georgia kicked it off to them and took it 50-yards to the house for the Dawgs’ third pick-six of the season.

In a blink of an eye, the Dawgs forced three turnovers and scored 21 points off those Gator mistakes. Florida went from giving Georgia a little bit of trouble to being quickly out of the ballgame.
There was no mercy for the Gators, especially after losing to them in 2020, so watching something like what happened in those 2:22 was satisfying.
