Cats Drop Heartbreaker to Georgia

Commonwealth Stadium was filled and rocking, and the Cats played inspired football, but in the end, Georgia made key plays down the stretch and kicked a game-winning field goal as time expired to beat Kentucky 27-24.

Georgia struck first early in the first half when on 3rd and 11, quarterback Jacob Eason hit Isaiah McKenzie on a 38-yard touchdown pass to take the early 7-0 lead. But the Cats answered with a five-play, 67-yard drive, setup by a 30-yard run by Boom Williams to the Georgia three yard line. From there, freshman Benny Snell powered his way in for the score to tie the game 7-7.
