The Cats could not recover from a poor first half and fell to Georgia Tech 33-18 in the TaxSlayer Bowl. Kentucky will finish the season with a 7-6 record. After a rough start to this season, winning seven games is extremely impressive. While the game did not end how most of us envisioned, it still is impressive that the Cats were able to turn the season around.
The game really could not have started worse. Stephen Johnson had a costly fumble that Georgia Tech returned for a touchdown to jump out to an early 7-0 lead. The Yellow Jackets did not stop there as they jumped out to an eventual 20-3 lead at the half.
