Kentucky Stuns Georgia 34-27

The Kentucky Wildcats go into Sanford Stadium and defeat the Georgia Bulldogs for the first time on the since 1977. The same year Rich Brooks lead his Oregon Ducks football team into Athens to hand the "Mighty Bulldogs" a loss. The game winning play was set up by a UGA's QB Joe Cox throwing an interception to UK's DT Shane McCord with 9:55 to go in the 4th Qtr. Randall Cobb would score the go-ahead TD after the interception. It looked as if UGA was going to tie the game up near the end zone with 2:21 left but a costly fumble for Georgia's running back Washaun Easley prevented that from happening. The play that sealed the deal was when Cox through an interception to UK LB Sam Maxwell with 1:52 left in the ball game. Morgan Newton threw for 137 yards and 3 TDs. Completed 9/17 passes. Derrick Locke carried the ball 16 times for 80 yards. Cobb had 40 rushing yards on 9 carries. Locke also had 2 receptions for 80 yards and scored 2 TDs. Nick Melillo had two receptions for 22 yards. Kentucky extends their record to 7-4 on the year and will end the season this Saturday at home vs the Tennessee Volunteers.
