The Bulldogs (11-0, 8-0 SEC, No. 1 CFP) clinched the Eastern Division title last week and sought another perfect finish in league play.
Georgia running back Kenny McIntosh celebrates after getting a first down against Kentucky during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Lexington, Ky., Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022. – Between Kenny McIntosh and Jack Podlesny, top-ranked Georgia got all the important points it needed on a day where style points weren’t possible.
“With these weather conditions, we’re going to play these kind of games like this," coach Kirby Smart said."But I’m really proud of when our guys’ backs are against the wall, how they come out fighting with what they do. Georgia's chance to pad the lead ended on downs at Kentucky's 1. The Wildcats to made it interesting with a 99-yard drive that ended with Will Levis' 8-yard touchdown pass to Barion Brown. Levis' two-point conversion pass failed, and the chance to make it a one-score game died when Matt Ruffalo's field goal hooked left after a low, rolling snap.McIntosh rushed a career-high 19 times with a 26-yarder for the Bulldogs, who outgained Kentucky 365-297 and 247-89 on the ground.
The Wildcats had been picked to finish second behind Georgia in the East and were ranked as high as No. 7 in the AP Top 25 in late September before spiraling downward with painful division losses to South Carolina, No. 5 Tennessee and last week's shocking 24-21 home loss to Vanderbilt that snapped the Commodores' 26-game SEC losing streak.Georgia’s second-ranked scoring defense remained stingy in holding Kentucky to just 119 yards before halftime and scoreless through three quarters.
