Kentucky trails Georgia 14-7 at halftime
After one half of play, your No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats trail the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs 14-7. The Cats held the Dawgs scoreless for a quarter, but a very big missed opportunity came back to haunt them.
Kentucky’s defense, specifically Jacquez Jones, allowed Georgia to pounce on what they believed was an incomplete pass by Stetson Bennett; however, upon review, it was ruled a fumble, and a 3rd and 13 turned into 3rd and 5. The Bulldogs scored on the next play, a 19-yard pass from Bennett to James Cook. After a Kentucky three-and-out, Georgia scored again, Zamir White gashing the Cats’ defense for a 24-yard romp to the end zone.
Luckily, Kentucky didn’t roll over. Liam Coen opened up the playbook and the Cats reestablished momentum on offense. Will Levis connected with Justin Rigg for a touchdown to strike back, making the score 14-7. Kentucky’s defense gave the offense another opportunity just before halftime but came up short.
Just keep fighting, Cats.
