Georgia Beats Kentucky For Sixth Straight Time

No one could argue with the success of Georgia’ second-half offensive game plan against Kentucky. “As a secondary coach, it was good just to see the whole picture and see our position on the football”, Stoops said. He’s totaled 300 kick return yards and 110 punt return yards. For all the “Mark Richt has lost control of X” memes you (and I) have faved, the fact that Georgia was one of the most stable programs in the country was key to the joke. “To keep on going on the field and thinking that we’re going to get off, it gets hard”. Quarterback Patrick Towles ranks fourth in the SEC in passing yards (1,914) but has thrown six interceptions in his past four games.

While a few want to dismiss Georgia’s recent offensive woes to playing against the two top-ranked scoring defenses in the SEC, it’s also just as easy to dismiss a 24-point win against the next to last scoring defense in the conference. The wet field will make the game closer than many think, as Georgia is a 14 point favorite.

The defense actually played a pretty decent first half considering it relinquished 94 total points in the two games prior to the UGA matchup.

What hasn’t been mentioned in this report card is that Kentucky was without its star running back Boom Williams, who was sidelined with an injured elbow. While the 15-year coach might still have the highest winning percentage (.734, 141-51) in Bulldogs’ history, Richt has lost his fastball without any indication of getting it back. That’s a prideful football team. The only way you make this feeling go away is to go get a victory.

“People are evaluating things, I imagine Mark is evaluating things”, Tarkenton said, “but this is not a good situation, it’s a bad situation at my alma mater”. The Bulldogs also used their quarterback carousel to gain a small advantage, naming Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey and Faton Bauta quarterback so the Wildcats wouldn’t know which to prepare for. He’s going to need a heck of a finish to get off the hot seat in Athens. They are one of the least-effective running teams in the nation, averaging 142.6 rushing yards per game.

Terry Godwin, a freshman, recovered his own fumble and then took off on a 28-yard scoring run for Georgia’s first touchdown. Georgia came out with the same intensity for the remaining 30 minutes holding Kentucky to just 81 yards. Seven Georgia players had carries. Sims replaced Greg Pyke, who played a backup role.

5-10 Georgia Coach Mark Richt’s record against Florida.

Kentucky Wildcats scored 24.3 points compared to allowed 29.1 points with point differential of -4.9.

At present the Kentucky Wildcats have a record of 4-4, and have declared a corresponding line up of 2-6 against the spread.

A rainy Saturday morning and the forecast for more rain contributed to several thousand empty seats.
