Why Georgia Will Win

This thing is leaking oil.

Kentucky was 4-0 and rolling along, but QB Will Levis got banged up and hasn’t been totally right ever since, there have been too many turnovers, and the running game has been wildly inconsistent.

Not to school shame, but things aren’t going well when you’re losing at home to Vanderbilt.

Georgia has the East wrapped up, and all that really matters is staying healthy and getting to the SEC Championship, but it should be able to pound away on the ground, rely on the defense, and keep things conservative enough to slip on by.

Of course, Georgia will want to connect on the big plays early, too.

Tennessee put Kentucky away immediately with a few big throws, Vanderbilt ran for 264 yards last week, and everyone who came up with more than 330 yards of total offense has won.

UK is 0-4 when allowing more, and 6-0 when allowing fewer.

Georgia has yet to come up with fewer than 387, and was only under 460 once – that was the win over Tennessee.

Bowl Projections

Why Kentucky Will Win

Georgia hasn’t exactly been air tight.

The offense moves when it has to, the defense bails everyone out when mistakes are made, but the seven turnovers in the last three games are too many.

As always, Kentucky has to control the game with its style. When teams don’t come up with big yards against this D it’s because they don’t have the ball enough and don’t run enough plays.

Georgia might be able to hit the big shots, but can it get moving if it only runs 60 plays instead of 75 or so? Kentucky should keep the offense on the field for about 34 minutes or so, but …

Schedules, Predictions CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

The Kentucky offensive line isn’t playing well enough.

The defensive front isn’t getting into the backfield – it’s not going to bother Stetson Bennett – and the running game isn’t getting going against this bunch.

Georgia will connect on two big plays and be methodical the rest of the way. The good Wildcat skill players won’t get enough time to work.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Georgia vs Kentucky Game Preview


Why Kentucky Will Win

Don’t meltdown when things start going wrong – and they will go wrong.

The intensity of Sanford Stadium – along with the NFL defensive front on the other side – helped cause penalty after penalty by Arkansas in the 37-0 Dawg win.

Auburn couldn’t throw its way back into the game, Clemson couldn’t do anything right, and no one seems able to solve the No. 1 defense in the country. Kentucky has the offensive line and the running back in Chris Rodriguez to get pounding. The big yards won’t be there, but the Wildcats have to at least maintain some semblance of ball control with No. 24.

You can’t commit penalties to have any shot at Georgia. Kentucky is among the best in the SEC at keeping the flags to a minimum.

You have to bring the defense. Kentucky has yet to allow anyone to hit 175 rushing yards and no one has thrown for 300.

You can’t turn the ball over and have to take the ball away to pull this off, and …

Week 7 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Georgia Will Win

Kentucky doesn’t come up with takeaways and it has a turnover problem.

The Wildcat program doesn’t do any one thing amazingly well, but it always hangs around and then finds a way to pull it off late. Against Georgia, though, the takeaways have to come, and UK has only six on the year and none in the last two games.

To be fair, there’s been just one turnover in the last two games, but the O has given it up 12 times on the season.

The Dawgs don’t need any help.

The defensive line has taken its game to a whole other level, the offensive front has been the best in America so far, and Stetson Bennett has filled in nicely for an injured JT Bennett.

He’s getting plenty of time to throw, he’s not making the big mistakes, and …

Week 7 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Bennett has GOT to avoid interceptions.

He’s been great so far, and he hit a few big throws in last year’s 14-3 win, but he also gave up two picks.

He’s not going to be pressured into making too many big plays. Hand it off, keep the passing game conservative, let the defense do the rest.

Kentucky won’t beat itself – even with a few giveaways – but it won’t have the passing punch needed to pull this off.

Georgia has won 11 straight in this and 13 of 14. The streak continues.
