Following Georgia’s 16-6 win over Kentucky on Saturday, UGA became just the third team ever to have back-to-back seasons with an 8-0 record in SEC play.
It was not a pretty game in Lexington, but it worked. Georgia advanced to 11-0 overall and 8-0 in the SEC with one game remaining in the regular season.
Georgia’s passing game did not really do much. Stetson Bennett finished 13/19 for 116 yards, 0 touchdowns and one interception. But for the most part, the Dawgs were effective on the ground. Kenny McIntosh had 143 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. However, in short yardage situations UGA could not buy an inch. The Dawgs had to settle for three field goals and turned it over on downs from the 1 yard line.
But they also got a win. And with Georgia Tech being the lone remaining game, I’m going to start celebrating back-to-back 12-0 seasons.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Georgia’s win:
Wasn’t pretty, but 11-0 sure looks nice! #GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/cdvA2xhsvQ

UGA becomes one of 3 programs to ever go 8-0 in back-to-back seasons against SEC opponents since the league started division play
They’re the first to do it since Alabama in 2008 & 2009. The only other team to achieve it was Florida in 1995 & 1996

Quite literally the task the last couple of weeks has been WIN and who gives a damn how or by how much.
Georgia did.
Georgia has also played great and inspired in big games this season. A completely different version from tonight will be in Atlanta on December 3rd. #GoDawgs

Am I the only UGA guy who will gladly take an ugly win with no injuries?
One step closer to a Natty in the grand scheme of things. 🤷♂️
