Series History Vs. Kentucky

Top-ranked Georgia leads the Kentucky series 60-12-2 and is on a 11-game winning streak. This is the Dogs’ longest winning streak in the series after twice having 10-game win streaks. Kentucky’s last win in the Georgia series came in 2009 in Athens when it stormed back from a 20-6 halftime deficit for a 34-27 win. It was UK’s first win in Athens in 32 years. The No. 11 Wildcats have started this season 6-0 for the first time since 1950.

We’re Coming To Your City . . . Again

This will mark the second time ESPN College GameDay will be in Athens in the last three weeks. GameDay came on Oct. 2 when the Dogs topped No. 8 Arkansas 37-0. Prior to this Saturday’s matchup, Georgia has won two straight top-10 showdowns at home with GameDay on site after also blasting No. 7 Auburn 27-6 in 2020. GameDay was also in Charlotte for the top-five matchup against No. 3 Clemson in Georgia’s 2021 season opener. Counting this weekend, GameDay will have only visited the same location twice during the regular season within a three-week period two times (Alabama, 2014). This marks the seventh time that GameDay has come to Athens.

SEC Nation will also be visiting Athens this weekend. This is only the third time that SEC Nation and GameDay have been at the same site in history, including the 2018 Georgia-Florida showdown that the Bulldogs won 34-17.

Dominating Defense & Offense Delivering Points

Georgia leads the nation in Scoring Defense giving up just 5.5 points per game. The Bulldogs are averaging 39.8 points/game. Last week, they scored 34 points in the road win over No. 18 Auburn, as the Tigers were allowing just 16.2 p/g.
