Georgia bounces back with 35-14 win over lackluster Kentucky

Gunner Stockton and the No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs wasted no time showing they had moved on from a tough loss to Alabama.

Stockton and Dillon Bell each had a pair of touchdown runs, leading the Bulldogs to a 35-14 victory over Kentucky on Saturday.

Georgia (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) capped its first two possessions with scoring runs from quarterback Stockton.

Cutter Boley had 225 yards passing with a couple of touchdowns for Kentucky (2-3, 0-3), but it wasn’t nearly enough to prevent Georgia from winning its 16th straight game in the series.

The Wildcats simply made too many mistakes to have any chance of an upset. Poor time management at the end of the first half and a fumble on their first possession of the third quarter allowed the Bulldogs to pull away. And Jacob Kauwe missed a 26-yard field goal to end the first half. Kentucky has now gone 3-9 since a huge upset at Mississippi early last season, with no wins against Power Four opponents.

After an off week, it’s another stiff challenge when the Wildcats host No. 9 Texas on Oct. 18.
