Georgia 30 Kentucky 13

[16thBBall Fan]

Final. The Cats have made great strides but are just not as good as this years Georgia team.

All things considered I thought the Cats played decent and I think this game will help them the rest of the way.

Well I spoke to soon in the update thread saying the Cats at least scored more than anyone else had this season. Then they get the extra point blocked so they are now tied with South Carolina who also scored 13 against Georgia.

Never get to the top or even be considered a top SEC team if afraid to throw the ball down the field!

Cats were out manned today. The losses of two starting D-linemen sure didn't help either.

UGA defenses was crazy fast today and UK got less YAC than any game I can recall. UGA didn't a great job tackling all day.

Luckily UK will not play another defense anywhere near that good. This game could be a good springboard for the rest of the season.

That last TD was a great call by Stoops...it ended a tough game with a positive.

I agree, probably a moral victory of sorts, but I agree.

Think maybe Georgia defense had the receivers blanketed down field?

I know the ultimate goal is to win every game, but UK is likely to still go 11-1. That is a historic season, one to be celebrated.

I’m not big on moral victories, but this is one of them…

14-7 at half and 2 touchdowns scored on a historically great UGA team gives me a lot of hope for the rest of the season.

Got to love Stoops calling timeout to cover spread. Some happy KY backers.

That’s all I could think about that final drive. 😆

Maybe so at times, but still have to take a chance several times to win.

Georgia is better but anybody can be beaten on a given day.  Not picking up that fumble changed the complexion of the game.  I really believe if they were after it quick they could’ve run it back for a TD!!

They took a few shots and the receivers were never close to being open. The Georgia pass rush also didn't give much time to allow deeper routes to develop. 

UK also completed or threw several passes in the 10 to 15 yard range. Normally those when completed can go for another 10 to 15 yards after the catch. Georgia tackled just about every receiver at the spot where they caught the ball. The lack of YAC makes the passing game look worse than it really was.

Biggest issue on offense was perimeter blocking. Backs, Receivers and Tight Ends didn't do a great job blocking for each other.
