No. 1 Georgia's Defense Praised for Dominant Performance Against Will Levis, Kentucky

The undefeated No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs football team used a dominating defense and a strong rushing attack to defeat the unranked host Kentucky Wildcats 16-6 on Saturday.

Georgia shut out Kentucky for the first 50 minutes of the game and got its points via three Jack Podlesny field goals and a Kenny McIntosh nine-yard run.

The Bulldogs' biggest defensive play came courtesy of Georgia safety Kelee Ringo, who got a pick off UK quarterback Will Levis with the Wildcats facing a 3rd-and-12 from the Bulldog 18-yard line down 3-0 in the second quarter.

Levis, who is widely considered a top-10 NFL draft prospect, completed 20-of-31 passes for 206 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
