September was kind to both Kentucky and Georgia. October, not so much. Both teams enter Saturday after losing three of their last four football games. In UK’s previous two matchups, it’s been outscored 94-37 in two uninspired blow outs. Georgia hasn’t fared much better as it lost to its arch rival Florida preceded by a concerning, touchdown-less 9-6 win over Missouri. UGA hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown in nearly ten quarters.
Realistically or not, fan grumblings are commonplace in both Lexington and Athens. The Dawgs were the preseason favorites to win the SEC East with an outside shot at the national championship.
