At the Whistle: Kentucky football falls 13-12 in defensive battle with No. 1 Georgia

Kentucky football (1-2) fell short in its match up with No. 1 Georgia (3-0) on Saturday, with the Wildcats failing to score a touchdown in a 13-12 loss.

The Cats entered the contest down a starting offensive linemen in junior guard Jager Burton, with Kentucky’s two game time decisions in senior offensive tackle Gerald Mincey and junior cornerback Maxwell Hairston suiting up to start in the Cat’s second SEC game.

Kentucky would win the coin toss and elect to defer to the second half, with Georgia’s opening drive ending in a punt after a sole first down courtesy of Bulldog junior running back Trevor Etienne.
