Stoops, Paschal not satisfied with execution on defense against Georgia

Looking at the box score, it’s easy to say that Kentucky had trouble dealing with the Georgia offense on Saturday.

The Bulldogs threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns (and no interceptions) while rushing for another 166 yards and one more score (and no fumbles). Georgia put up 30 points and 416 total yards of offense in the 17-point win over Kentucky.

But digging through the context of those numbers, Kentucky actually didn’t grade all that poorly compared to Georgia’s previous six wins this season. The UK defense limited UGA to its third-fewest rushing yards and total yards of the season, along with allowing the second-fewest points scored.
