JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Its been nearly three decades since Georgia really stunned Florida in the Worlds Largest Outdr Cocktail Party.Sure, the Bulldogs have pulled a few upsets in the series over that span, most notably in 1997, 2007 and 2012. But they havent seriously shocked the Gators since 1989, when the unranked Dawgs knocked off 20th-ranked Florida 17-10 in Jacksonville.Georgia hasnt had much to toast in the series since.The Bulldogs, who have dropped 20 of the last 26 meetings, would like to see that change Saturday when they play the No. 14 Gators in one of the Southeastern Conferences most storied rivalries. A touchdown underdog that has dropped three of its last four games, including a home loss to Vanderbilt, Georgia (4-3, 2/3 SEC) could salvage a sub-par season and give coach Kirby Smart a signature win in his first year.I think weve got to play our best ftball, and we have yet to do that all year, Smart said.Florida (5-1, 3-1) hasnt been considerably better, but has managed to get to the top of the SEC Eastern Division. Staying there might be the challenge.The Gators continue to struggle offensively and could be without their leading tackler, linebacker Jarrad Davis, against Georgia running back Nick Chubb. That combination has some outsiders believing Florida should be on upset alert.Were nowhere near where were going to be and yet were getting some parts that are actually staring to step up and realize how gd they can be, Florida coach Jim McElwain said. I like where were going. I like where were heading. Weve got a ton of young guys, obviously, as you lk that are playing, and yet at the same time, those guys, its time that they quit being young.The Gators dominated the last two meetings against Georgia, outgaining the Bulldogs by 466 yards on the ground. Florida ran for 418 yards in a 38-20 victory in 2014 and then had 258 yards rushing in a 27-3 drubbing last year.The loss last season was a factor in Mark Richt getting fired and Smart replacing him.Smart knows the rivalry as well as anyone, going 1/3 against Florida as a player and then losing two more times as a Georgia assistant. He was on the field for the 1997 victory in which the Bulldogs upset the defending national champion Gators.But not since 1989 has an unranked Georgia team beaten a ranked Florida squad.Our mindset is paying Georgia ftball, safety Quincy Mauger said. We dont lk at the scoreboard or our record. We continue to play very physical, very tough Georgia ftball. At the end of the day, its a game that we love to play, so it doesnt matter what our record says.Here are some other things to know about Georgia and Florida, which have played the last 20 years in Jacksonville:COACHING REUNION: Smart and McElwain became close friends while coaching together at Alabama (2008-11). With Smart and McElwain as crdinators, the Tide went 48-6 and claimed two national championships. When you work together like that in an environment like that, you get to know each other pretty well, McElwain said. I mean, it becomes a family.DEL RIO RETURNS: Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio returns to the city where he spent a big chunk of his formative years. The son of current Oakland Raiders coach and former Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, Luke essentially grew up in and around EverBank Field. It will be fun to be back there, the younger Del Rio said. His father, whose team plays at Tampa Bay on Sunday, is expected to be in the stands. If Florida prevails, the Del Rio family will have two wins in Jacksonville in less than a week. The Raiders beat the Jaguars 33-16 on Sunday.TOP TACKLERS: Georgias two leading tacklers will be able to play after being cleared in a marijuana investigation . The schl announced this week that Natrez Patrick and Roquan Smith violated no university policies that would require a suspension.THOMPSON OUT: Florida announced Friday that running back Mark Thompson, third on the team with 262 yards rushing and two touchdowns, will not make the trip because of some choices and decisions hes made.---More AP college ftball: tball.ap.org" target="_blank">www.collegeftball.ap.org New Jets Jerseys 2019 .

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Houston Texans found a winning formula for the road: Keep the ball on the ground and avoid turnovers.It worked to perfection against lowly Jacksonville.The Texans ran for a season-high 181 yards in a 24-21 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday. It helped that they also scored on defense and set up another touchdown with special teams.Nonetheless, it was a much-needed road victory -- Houstons first of the season -- for a team that plays three of its next four away from home. The Texans (6-3) face Oakland (7-2) next week in Mexico City.It feels gd to get a win on the road, in a division game and its another step in the right direction, cornerback Kareem Jackson said. We need to continue to build on this and get better. We did some gd things, but well go back and watch the film and see what we need to do better. At the end of the day, we got the win and thats all that matters.Lamar Miller led the rushing attack with 83 yards on 15 carries, including a 45-yard scamper that set up a touchdown. Akeem Hunt, called up from the practice squad Saturday, added 52 yards on eight carries. Hunts 17-yard run on a third-and-16 play in the fourth proved huge, setting up Nick Novaks 51-yard field goal.The group is starting to jell, quarterback Brock Osweiler said. The offensive line, the tight ends, the fullbacks and the receivers came up huge today as well. ... I think its the chemistry. Were now in the second half of season and had a lot of practice together. Were able to master some of those plays, and I think we also have tough, hard-nosed physical backs.I cant say enough about those guys.Jackson returned an interception 42 yards for a score on Jacksonvilles opening possession. Punt returner Tyler Ervin helped make it 21-10 in the third quarter by weaving his way for 57 yards and setting the Texans up at the 7-yard line. Osweiler had two short TD passes.But it was the ground game that proved to be the difference.Osweiler threw for just 99 yards.As long as theres a win on the end of that, sign me up every single week, Osweiler said.Here are some other things to know about the Texans and JJaguars (2-7), who have dropped five in a row in the series:BAD BORTLES: If the Jaguars are going to win again this season, they need Blake Bortles to play better.ddddddddddddBortles completed 32 of 49 passes for 265 yards, with two touchdowns, an interception and a fumble. He also misfired on deep passes to Allen Robinson and Marqise Lee. Its a work in progress, Bortles said. I continue to try to give those guys better balls and a chance to go and make a play. And when we have those opportunities, we have to go out and make plays.NOVAK MISSES: Novak made up for two misses with his 51-yarder late. He missed wide left from 49 yards out and wide right from 50 yards away.FLUKY FUMBLE: Of all of Bortles miscues in his career, one of the oddest ones happened in the second quarter. Under heavy pressure and trying to ground the ball, Bortles pass hit T.J. Yeldons ft. The ball bounced up and landed in Whitney Mercilus hands for what initially was ruled an interception. It was later changed to a lateral and a fumble. From the time you start playing quarterback, they tell you if the screen is covered, throw it at his feet, Bortles said. I was trying to make the smart play and live to play another down and that happens. Unfortunate.MISSING MEN: Houstons win was impressive considering how many key players the team was missing. Starting receiver Will Fuller (knee), run-stuffing nose tackle Vince Wilfork (groin) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (ankle) were inactive. So was Jaelen Strong, leaving the Texans with just three healthy wideouts.DROUGHTS CONTINUE: The Jaguars extended two droughts. They failed to score a touchdown on their opening possession, extending the NFLs longest current streak to 23 games. Even more baffling, they have now gone more than five games without a takeaway. Its officially 23 quarters and counting. Weve got to do more, Jags defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. Weve got to do better.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
