1995: Half a hundred in Athens: With Jacksonvilles rebuilt Jacksonville Municipal Stadium still under construction, this traditional neutral-site showdown was held on the universities campuses for the first time in over sixty years in 1994 and 1995.After winning at The Swamp the previous season, the undefeated 1995 Florida Gators hoped to repeat the feat at Sanford Stadium against a struggling Georgia Bulldogs team led by soon-to-be-fired coach Ray Goff. Gators starting quarterback Danny Wuerffel threw for 242 yards and five touchdowns before leaving the game in the third quarter. With the Gators leading 38–17 in the fourth quarter, Gators backup quarterback Eric Kresser threw for two more touchdowns, one with 1:21 remaining, to make the final score 52–17. After the game, Gators coach Steve Spurrier stated that he had wanted to be the first opponent to hang half a hundred on the Bulldogs in their own stadium because we heard no one had ever done that before. The Gators fifty-two points remains the record for most scored against Georgia between the hedges.[56]
