1st Quarter- Georgia 14, Kentucky 7

(13) Georgia 14, Kentucky 7


Georgia came out on fire as the Bulldogs scored on each of their two possessions of the quarter. Knowshown Moreno had just five carries in the quarter and already has rushed for half of the century mark. Matthew Stafford has also seen success bulleting passes through the overaggressive Kentucky defensive back field. Stafford has a near perfect mark by completing 80% of his passes and a touchdown.

After the Georgia built 14-0 lead, the Kentucky offense showed life by driving the length of the field for a score of their own. The drive spanned six and half minutes and went for 57 yards. The key to the drive was the running game which successfully moved the ball down the field to convert at pivotal moments. The 15 play drive included 13 runs and just two passes by Randall Cobb. The emergence of the running game will be key for the Cats to compete in this game.
