Kentucky did not play their best football tonight. And as if missed tackles and costly sacks weren’t bad enough, Kentucky continued to draw the yellow flags at some of the most inopportune times. Although the Cats had just four penalties for 45 yards (compared to Georgia’s six penalties for 64 yards), the timing of the flags as well as the nature of the calls themselves (silly things like false starts and unsportsmanlike conduct) were enough to limit Kentucky’s momentum.
A combination of little mistakes stacked up against Kentucky, and it was enough to leave Benny Snell more than a little unsatisfied.
