Kentucky falls at No. 1 Georgia: 4 things to know and postgame banter

The Kentucky Wildcats’ magical run finally hit a brick wall on Saturday, as the No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs dominated the 11th-ranked Wildcats 30-13 at Sanford Stadium in Athens.

Georgia entered the game with the nation’s top defense and won the battle up front to stymie the Kentucky offense. However, the biggest surprise of the day proved to be Georgia’s offense as quarterback Stetson Bennett, a former walk-on, threw for two touchdowns and picked apart the Kentucky secondary to secure the win.

Saturday’s matchup was the first time that two undefeated teams had faced off in the SEC East Division as the Bulldogs improved to 7-0, while Kentucky falls to 6-1 as they head into a bye week.
