Heading into Saturday night’s game against Georgia Kentucky was 3-17 all-time against number-one ranked teams. They’d lost nine in a row since beating LSU back in 2007. After playing as badly as possible against South Carolina <\/a>and Georgia being, well Georgia, most thought this one was a mismatch. Of course, you don’t play the game on paper, you play it on the field. UK had several chances but couldn’t get the ball in the end zone. In the end that and some questionable playcalling did them in. Let’s break it down as Georgia Edges Kentucky 13-12.<\/p>\n

Cats Come Up Short Again<\/h2>\n

Not How The Experts Thought It Would Go<\/h3>\n

From the outset, the Kentucky defense made a statement. In fact, they held Carson Beck<\/a> and the Georgia offense to four straight punts in the first half. As a result, the Wildcats held a big advantage in field position. On UK’s second drive, they got down to the Bulldog 36 before stalling. Alex Raynor<\/a> nailed a school-record 55-yard field goal giving the Cats a 3-0 lead.<\/p>\n

What Might Have Been<\/h3>\n

With 8:27 left in the second quarter, Beck hit Dominic Lovett<\/a> on a completion. However, when he rolled over the ball popped up. Zion Childress<\/a> snatched it out of the air taking it back for an apparent touchdown.<\/p>\n
