Georgia vs. Kentucky – First quarter all Bulldogs

Georgia leads Kentucky 7-0 after a quarter after dominating the line of scrimmage. Details and analysis here.

Georgia leads Kentucky 7-0 after a quarter.

As expected, Georgia’s front is giving Kentucky problems. The Bulldogs rushed for 71 yards and didn’t even attempt a pass in its first drive, which was capped off by a rushing touchdown from quarterback Stetson Bennett.

On defense, Georgia has been able to keep Kentucky’s rushing attack that averages over 180 yards per game in check. In the first quarter, the Wildcats rushed for 37 yards on 11 carries, with 20 yards coming from new starting quarterback Joey Gatewood.

Georgia is perfectly happy running the ball every down and playing the field of position game behind punter Jake Camarda’s big leg.

Kentucky can’t matchup on the line of scrimmage, so there isn’t much of a point for Georgia to throw the ball, but it would be great to see Bennett get some experience with throws downfield.
