– All week, Georgia juxtaposed its own game on Saturday with another one, with perhaps more importance for its long-term hopes. That meant that even before the Bulldogs took the field against Kentucky, it had been a good day:
They once again had control of their destiny in the SEC East race. Then the Bulldogs almost proceeded to give back control. It took a standout performance from quarterback Aaron Murray, a break on special teams and a heady play by a former walk-on. But Georgia still narrowly escaped Kentucky, 29-24.
“You know what? I’m happy with the victory,” head coach Mark Richt said. “What are we now, 6-1? That’s a good thing.” Coupled with Florida’s win over South Carolina, the day went very well for Georgia. And it makes next week’s showdown with Florida in Jacksonville a de facto SEC championship game.
