Kentucky’s offense figured to stay on the ground in Gatewood’s first start, and the Wildcats had their moments with Rodriguez and the QB running the ball. But they reached Georgia territory just twice and Gatewood fumbled away a solid opportunity at the 36.

POLL IMPLICATIONS

Georgia was workmanlike but likely reinforced its top-five credentials with the win.

THE TAKEAWAY

Georgia was nothing if not methodical in opening both halves with impressive touchdown drives. More importantly, the Bulldogs’ defense made sure Kentucky stayed primarily with the run before shutting it down at key times to keep the Wildcats out of the end zone. They also recorded four sacks.
