Gator quarterback Tim Tebow rushes for a touchdown against Georgia breaking Herschel Walker's touchdown record

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Tim Tebow passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more Saturday, leading top-ranked Florida to a 41-17 SEC win over Georgia.

Florida's win was its 10th in the last 12 games at the nation's biggest "cocktail party" at Jacksonville.

The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner completed 15-of-21 passes for 163 yards and his touchdown runs established an SEC record with 50, one better than the 49 scored by former Georgia great Herschel Walker between 1980 and 1982.

Riley Cooper made four catches for 78 yards.

Caleb Sturgis kicked two field goals, one a 56-yarder in the second quarter.

A.J. Jones had two of four interceptions, while Brandon Spikes scored on a 5-yard fourth-quarter interception for the Gators (8-0, 6-0 SEC), who extended their winning streak to 18 straight games.

Joe Cox passed for 165 yards with two touchdowns, but three interceptions for the Bulldogs (4-4, 3-3), who have lost three of four.
