Mike Bobo’s Georgia offense scored on its first six offensive drives and piled up 608 yards and 34 first downs, hogging the ball for 37 minutes, 28 seconds.

The Bulldogs ran 73 plays while the Wildcats managed only 50, mustering just 183 yards of total offense and 12 first downs.

Kentucky had more yards in penalties (60), than rushing (55), one week after Ray Davis rushed for 280 yards and four touchdowns in a win over Florida.

The only stat Georgia didn’t win was turnovers, as a seemingly otherwise perfect Carson Beck game was spoiled by a careless interception.

Beck’s interception led to a Kentucky touchdown, while the Wildcats somehow managed not to turn the ball over at all, the one positive they could take back to Lexington.
