Comments

Kentucky is having a wacky season. I expected them to win 9 or 10 games (in 12 game season) but here they are sitting at 2-3. Kentucky could win this game but the way they played at Missouri is troubling. They couldn’t sustain drives and didn’t get the turnover bounty they had gotten in the previous two games (wins). Kentucky will be starting a new quarterback in Joey Gatewood as Terry Wilson is injured. The Wildcats could surprise if the stars align just right but Georgia likely prevails.
