LEXINGTON, Ky. — There weren’t many style points to be had Saturday, so the No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs had only a bright, shiny undefeated record to show off in forging a 16-6 win over Kentucky here at Kroger Field.
The Bulldogs (11-0, 8-0 SEC) finished undefeated in conference play for the second consecutive season. But this game will be remembered not for what Georgia did well, but for what it did to keep its opponent in the game.
With brisk winds and low temperatures playing their part, Georgia’s defense withstood a couple of legitimate scoring threats by quarterback Will Levis and the Wildcats early in the game. Then Georgia coach Kirby Smart again let confidence in his defense get in the way of sound decision-making.
