No, this was Tebow years. I remember it clearly because they wouldn’t STFU about having black jerseys.
Iirc, Florida wore black vs. UGA. I was referring to the time Athens had a black out in Athens, since they play FL in neutral field.

When Mark Richt honored a request from his seniors to wear black jerseys for a 2007 home game against Auburn, he had no idea of the can of worms he was opening. For almost a decade, the black jerseys and their legacy have lingered over the program like a cloud.

The Bulldogs won the initial blackout against Auburn, as well as the subsequent one in the 2008 Sugar Bowl against Hawaii. But in 2008, Richt went to the well one too many times.

Georgia pulled another blackout against the Alabama Crimson Tide that season, but the Tide dumped a can of crimson paint all over the black canvas of Sanford Stadium. Alabama jumped out to a 31-0 lead and eventually held on to win by a 41-30 score. The loss ruined the black jerseys in the minds of many fans, including former team photographer Dan Evans.
