UGA Football: It Was Sloppy, But the Dawgs Won

LEXINGTON, Ky. โ€”ย The top-ranked Georgia football team scratched and clawed its way to a 13-12 win over Kentucky in the Bulldogs’ SEC opener Saturday night at Kroger Field. Down 9-3 in the third quarter of a game controlled by the defenses, the Bulldogs got a 30-yardย Peyton Woodringย field goal and a three-yardย Branson Robinsonย touchdown to take the lead for good.

The win is Georgia’s 42nd in a row during the regular season, the Bulldogs’ 28th straight in SEC regular-season games, and the program’s 15th straight over Kentucky (1-2, 0-2 SEC). Georgia (3-0, 1-0) had just 63 yards of offense in the first half before finding some rhythm and hitting some big plays in the second to finish with 262.
