ATHENS, Ga. - Georgia got away with another one.

For the second week in a row, the No. 4 Bulldogs struggled against a big underdog, needing Billy Bennett's third field goal with 12:57 remaining to beat UAB 16-13 on Saturday.

Now, it's time to get serious. Georgia (7-1) heads to Jacksonville next weekend for its annual showdown against No. 25 Florida, with 17th-ranked Auburn and greatly improved Georgia Tech also looming on the schedule.

"If we go out and play Florida like we did the last two games, we're going to be in for a long night - a real long night," Georgia receiver Bryan McClendon said. "But it should be easier for us to get up for Florida."
