The goliath that is No. 1 Georgia enters conference play Saturday against a Kentucky program reeling from one of its worst, most inexplicable losses in the Mark Stoops era. Georgia is a massive favorite on the road. What could go wrong?
The Wildcats (1-1, 0-1 SEC) are coming off a 31-6 loss to South Carolina. The offense was abysmal, as its quarterbacks threw two interceptions and were sacked four times. Yes, quarterbacks is plural. Georgia transfer Brock Vandagriff was harassed throughout the game and didn’t do much of anything to move the team, throwing for only 30 yards on 3 of 10 passing before he was benched in favor of backup Gavin Wimsatt in the fourth quarter. Vandagriff should start Saturday against his former team, which makes for quite the reunion in Lexington.
Meanwhile, Georgia (2-0) is firing on all cylinders. Last week, Carson Beck threw five touchdown passes in a 48-3 win against FCS Tennessee Tech. The defense allowed only 18 passing yards, the third-fewest allowed in this century. It will take a lot for Kentucky to upset the Bulldogs, who have won 14 straight against the Wildcats — their longest active winning streak against an SEC team. The Bulldogs drilled Kentucky 51-13 in Athens last season.
