ATHENS - Kirby Smart and UGA football released highlights from the beating the put on the previously-undefeated Kentucky Wildcats in a lopsided affair Between the Hedges Saturday night.
Carson Beck threw for a career-high 389 yards and four touchdowns, the Georgia defense shut down what had been a prolific rushing attack, and the top-ranked Bulldogs won a battle of unbeatens, 51-13, against No. 20 Kentucky on Saturday night in front of a rabid, sellout crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium.
With the victory, Georgia (6-0, 3-0 SEC) extended its overall winning streak to 23 games. In addition, it was the Bulldogs’ 33rd straight regular-season win, its 22nd straight SEC regular-season win, and it was the team’s 23rd win in a row on Dooley Field.
Kentucky (5-1, 2-1) came in fresh off a 33-14 rout of Florida last week in which the Wildcats ran 329 yards, including 280 by Ray Davis, the SEC’s leading rusher. But the Bulldogs didn’t let their ground game get going, holding the Wildcats to 55 yards on the ground — just 34 through three quarters — and 183 yards of total offense.
Georgia’s offense, meanwhile, scored on all five possessions in the first half, including three straight touchdowns to start the game. The Bulldogs had more than 300 yards of offense in the first half and finished with 608 for the game, with Beck completing 28 of 35 passes.
Tight end Brock Bowers was again a popular target, ending his night with seven receptions for 132 yards — his third straight 100-yard game — and a touchdown. Running back Daijun Edwards was productive as a runner and receiver, combining for 105 yards of offense.

The Bulldogs started the game, their first against a ranked opponent this season, with their best opening drive. Beck completed all four of his passes, starting with a 7-yard screen to Edwards on first down and ending with a 40-yard completion to wideout Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint on a crossing pattern toward the left corner to make it 7-0 with 11:26 to play in the quarter.
Kentucky’s Ray Davis, the SEC’s leading rusher, was able to move the chains a couple of times with runs, but the Bulldog defense eventually forced a punt on fourth-and-long near midfield. Georgia’s offense took over at its 18-yard line and quickly marched all the way down for another touchdown.
Beck began the drive with a pass right to Rara Thomas for 12 yards, followed by a 2-yard completion to Bowers. Two plays later, a good play-action fake sprung Bowers free down the middle of the field for a 25-yard gain. Later, Beck hit Rara Thomas in the front left corner of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 4:25 remaining in the first. The play was initial ruled incomplete, but a review showed that Thomas managed to get his left foot down before going out of bounds. Through two drives, Beck was 11 of 11 for 146 yards and two TDs.
After another Georgia stop, helped by a Kentucky penalty just like on the Wildcats’ first possession, the Bulldog offense got the ball at its 5. And kept the ball for a long time. Flags on both teams moved the ball forwards and backward, including a 15-yard personal foul on Kentucky after Beck threw incomplete on third-and-7 at the Georgia 20.
