The Georgia defense gave a bit at the end, on the last play from scrimmage inside Sanford Stadium on Saturday night. Of course, by then, with the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs fully in command against No. 11 Kentucky, the 1-yard touchdown at the very end didn’t really matter in a 30-13 victory in a matchup of the final two unbeaten teams in the SEC.
Just don’t tell this tough, dominating and determined defense that the Wildcats’ 1-yard score with 4 seconds left didn’t matter.
“Honestly, we treat that like anything. Even if there are 4 seconds left in the fourth quarter, we still do not want anyone in our end zone. Honestly, it still hurts right now,” linebacker Adam Anderson said about 30 minutes after Kentucky’s late touchdown.

ATHENS, Ga. — The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs got strong performances from their offense and defense and dispatched No. 11 Kentucky, 30-13, in a matchup of unbeatens Saturday afternoon in a packed and noisy Sanford Stadium.
Quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, making his fourth start in seven games this season, was solid leading the offense, the ground game moved the ball, and the defense made the Wildcats work for every inch of ground they gained.
