Kentucky football faced its toughest test of the season on Saturday, and through two quarters the Georgia Bulldogs have lived up to their No. 1 billing. After struggling with slow starts for much of the year, Georgia exploded out of the gate against the Wildcats, putting up 14 first-quarter points and controlling nearly every phase of the game to take a 21–7 lead into halftime.
Georgia flips the script early
Coming into this matchup, Georgia had earned a reputation for starting sluggish before settling in. That wasn’t the case against Kentucky. Gunnar Stockton gave the Bulldogs momentum right away, powering in two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter.
