By KEITH TAYLOR, Kentucky Today
Georgia continued its dominance over Kentucky on Saturday in Athens.
Coming off a 24-21 loss to No.. 10 Alabama, the 12th-ranked Bulldogs roared to a 35-14 win over the Wildcats, handing Kentucky (2-3, 0-3) its eighth-straight Southeastern Conference setback dating back to last season.
Georgia (4-1, 2-1) notched its 16th straight victory over Kentucky, which hasn’t beaten the Bulldogs since the 2009 season.. Georgia coach Kirby Smart improved to 10-0 against the Wildcats, while Mark Stoops has failed to notch a win over the Bulldogs in his 13-year tenure as coach at Kentucky.
Making his third start of the season, Wildcats signal-caller Cutter Boley threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns. Boley had one interception and was sacked twice for a loss of seven yards. Boley completed a pair of long pass plays, including a 38-yard strike to Kendrick Law that led to a touchdown in the second quarter.
Law caught six passes for 64 yards, while Cameron Miller hauled in three passes for 41 yards in the second half.
On the flip side of the football, the Wildcats managed just 45 yards rushing and 270 overall yards in the setback. Seth McGowan rushed for 44 yards on 11 carries.
Kentucky missed a 26-yard field goal attempt at the end of the first half, and a fumble on its first series of the second half resulted in a touchdown in the ensuing drive for the hosts.
Kentucky’s defense struggled to contain Georgia signal caller Gunner Stockton, who threw for 196 yards and rushed for 48 yards and a pair of scores in the first half. Overall, the Bulldogs racked up 425 yards of offense, including 245 yards passing. Stockton completed passes of 18 yards or more to four different receivers.
Stoops believes the Wildcats can recover from the three league losses moving forward.
“We talked about those and knocking down some pegs, and moving up,” Stoops said. “ I’ve been there and done that. It’s hard. You’ve got to have the right pieces in place. We’re not exactly where we want to be. We’re better than we’ve been in the recent past, but we’re still not where we want to be. We’re missing some pieces, but we’re going to get to work.”

Mark Stoops shoots down buyout report: “There’s zero chance I’m walking away”
It looks like the man has no shame and we are stuck with him to the bitter end. Midnight Madness is only a week away! YEAAAAAAAA!!!!
Follow the money – find the hand that opened the floodgates to give Stoops Mega-millions AND those he reports to.
Let’s see, the AD & some lawyers & some administrators arranged for the corrupt contracts to wrongfully pull money out of UK and give it to an incompetent pretend coach with a long term gift plan!
It has to be either
A. Total incompetence
B. Absolute corruption
SOMEONE paid by UK is beyond being slack by not investigating each and every person with any input and approval of the money wasted on Calipari & now Stoops.
SOMEONE with integrity & authority please step up and uncover the operations which prepared and allowed these ridiculous contracts.
If you don’t think some big boys would do the unthinkable crooked activities needed to swindle UK out of mega-millions, then you have not followed the uncovering of the deep state corrupt treasonous acts by o’bama, o’biden, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Pee-losi, Strzok, Paige, Fani Willis, Leticia James, multiple crooked judges & more.
Follow the money & investigate everyplace ANY & ALL UKAA funds have gone and where Stoops’ mega millions have been deposited, transferred, shared, invested, etc.
Welcome to the 21st century where we are witnessing the work of some genuine USA Citizens who helping to Make America Grear Again!
Offended? We all have a choice to defend & fight for the USA or join Antifa, AOC, Scummer & other anti-USA groups & people.
As for me & my house, we will serve the Lord!
And we will pray for success in cleaning up the USA and restoring it a nation guided by those who are as bold as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson & many more who were geniuses appointed @ led by God Hinself!
The Lord Jesus you ALL – those who agree & those who disagree! His blessing will infuse His Divine Light into your hearts that you may all see clearly His vision for the earth!
You and all of Satan's Minions that are in the White House, Congress, Supreme Court, etc. are going to get a stunning surprise when you stand before the Lord on Judgement Day.
My God what hatred?
Beyond any hatred I’ve ever seen before. It’s sad to know we have such folks in our nation!
It's a shame we have people like you in our country. Bow to your King and kiss his as….er hand. It was our founding fathers that said "we have a Democracy if we can keep it". They knew one day it would be challenged by a Dictator want-a-be and his evil minions. That day has come. You talk about hatred? You are the poster child for hatred.
Look in the mirror.
You seriously need therapy!!!
Ugly loss. We have a decent freshman QB that is still learning and going to be a great one, only three players to throw to 2 of which are tight ends, two good running backs and a decent front defensive line and line backers. That's about 12 players making a contribution. Why are we wasting 60 more scholarships on players that don't show up? With a pay for play budget for about 15,000,000 and a coaching budget of the same amount we're paying $30,000,000/ yr for what we watched Saturday. Tell you what, save the money on the BB Wall and the defensive secondary and get free walk-ons. Take the savings and invest in Bit-Coin and by next year we might be able to buy Stoops out.
Pay for Play means those that we pay are SUPPOSED TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!
For all of us, players, coaches and fans, it is now a hardline business without any doubt, if there ever was doubt about that before NIL, and business must demand the desired results.
Fire them all!!!!!!!!!!
I am ready to see this S show come to an end and even willing to accept going Winless to to that end Go Tennessee Tech!
