Bulldogs Tame Wildcats, 27-3Athens, Ga. -- An all-around team performance from the Georgia Bulldogs led to its 27-3 defeat of the Kentucky Wildcats Saturday afternoon at Sanford Stadium. The Bulldogs (6-3, 4-3) were outstanding defensively for all 60 minutes, especially in the first-half. The Bulldogs held Kentucky (4-5, 2-5) to just 99 total yards in the half and forced two turnovers. Georgia came out with the same intensity for the remaining 30 minutes holding Kentucky to just 81 yards. Overall, the Wildcats were held to just 180 yards for the game. Defensive back Dominick Sanders recorded two interceptions on the contest. The Bulldogs did most of their damage offensively on the ground, led by Sony Michel with 165 yards rushing and one touchdown. Terry Godwin chipped in 26 yards along with a touchdown of his own. Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey combined to go 10 for 19 with 90 yards and a touchdown. Head Coach Mark Richt was happy with his team's all-around effort.
""It was a good day," Richt said. "A good solid victory. It was the last home game for the seniors and it meant a lot to them to finish with style. The underclassmen played their tails off for those guys. That was a motivating factor and they did a good job of that. Overall, the coaches and the players did a wonderful job of focusing on what's important." The Bulldogs were first to strike, putting six on the board after Terry Godwin took a direct snap 28-yards for a touchdown. Georgia tacked on three more points to its lead late in the first-quarter with a 22-yard field goal from Marshall Morgan. The score was set up by a muffed punt by the Wildcats at the 25-yard line that was recovered by deep snapper Nathan Theus. Kentucky put its first points on the board with 1:12 left on the clock in the second quarter drilling a 32-yard field goal. Georgia drove the length of the field on the ensuing drive, but was unable to convert a field goal attempt as time expired. To begin the second-half Georgia stuffed Kentucky's fourth down attempt near midfield handing the offense good field position for the Bulldogs first drive of the half. The Bulldogs marched their way down the field for 53-yards, capping the drive off with a one-yard Sony Michel touchdown run. Michel broke off a 46-yard run midway through the third quarter to set the Bulldogs up for their third touchdown on the afternoon. Lambert hit running back Keith Marshall on a screen pass for a 10-yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 24-3. Following Dominick Sanders' second interception on the game, the Bulldogs were able to score three points on a 28-yard field goal from Morgan. The Bulldogs return to action next Saturday at 12 p.m. ET when they head to Auburn, Alabama to take on the Auburn Tigers. The game will be nationally televised on CBS.
