When Kentucky travels to Georgia Saturday, the Cats will be three-touchdown underdogs. When the Bulldogs traveled to Lexington last year, many believed it was Kentucky’s game to lose.
Kirby Smart was just 4-4 in his first year coaching his alma mater. His team arrived at Commonwealth Stadium with a two-game losing streak, a true freshman quarterback and a sloppy offensive line.
On the other side of the field, Kentucky fans Packed Commonwealth, prepared to watch Mark Stoops’ team finally capitalize with a win in front of a raucous home crowd. Searching for a sixth win to become bowl eligible, a win would also put UK in sole possession of first place in the SEC East.
