In a hard-fought battle at Kroger Field, the Georgia Bulldogs narrowly defeated the Kentucky Wildcats 13-12 to secure their 42nd consecutive regular-season victory. Georgia didn't take the lead until the fourth quarter, with Branson Robinson's 3-yard touchdown run ultimately proving to be the decisive score. The Bulldogs, who were 22-point favorites, struggled offensively in the first half, tallying just 63 yards and three punts on their initial five possessions.
Despite Kentucky's superior metrics in yards gained, time of possession, and first downs, it was the disciplined Bulldogs' defense and timely explosive plays that sealed the win.

Ultimately, crucial plays from players such as Dominic Lovett and pivotal defensive stops allowed the Bulldogs to survive the upset scare just two weeks before their showdown with Alabama.
