This one may be a little more of a longshot, but could it just be the Wildcats’ turn to beat the Bulldogs in a series that has seen the Bulldogs be unstoppable as of late?

Kentucky has now lost 14 straight games against the Bulldogs, with their last victory coming in 2009 against a Georgia team led by quarterback Joe Cox. To put that into further perspective, then-Georgia receiver A.J. Green played another season and has had a full NFL career since the Dawgs last lost to the Wildcats. With the exception of Texas A&M and Oklahoma, Kentucky has the longest amount of time that has passed since they beat UGA, and even Vanderbilt has won twice in that stretch. The Wildcats have also only lost by more than the current spread once in the last six meetings against Georgia, giving some indication to the likelihood that they could cover, along with Mark Stoops notable knack for being aware of the spread that he has showed in the past.

On paper, Georgia should beat Kentucky, and the numbers don’t care about how many years it has been. But eventually, it could happen. Could it be this week that Georgia has multiple turnovers, or Kentucky’s offense figures out Georgia’s defense? Kirby Smart’s program has a long history that would say no, but you can’t fully count it out.
