A year ago, Georgia nearly stumbled against Kentucky in a game that shocked fans and critics alike. Despite being heavy favorites, the Bulldogs had to claw back from behind before escaping with a narrow one-point win. This season, Georgia is determined not to let history repeat itself.
Georgia’s offense cannot stall the way it did in 2024. The Bulldogs managed just one touchdown in the second half, a performance that drew widespread criticism given their talent advantage. Offensive rhythm will be key to setting the tone early.
The defense must eliminate lapses that allowed Kentucky to control the clock last year. Giving the Wildcats extended possessions kept Georgia’s offense off the field and nearly flipped the result. This week, the Bulldogs need a sharper, more disciplined unit.
Finally, Georgia is coming off its first home loss in 33 games, falling to Alabama last week. Protecting Sanford Stadium and restarting that streak adds urgency to Saturday’s matchup.
Georgia has plenty left to prove, and Kentucky provides the perfect test of whether the Bulldogs can correct old mistakes and reestablish themselves as playoff contenders.
