Head coach Mark Stoops has won more games at Kentucky than anyone else. Including Bear Bryant. Stoops has done what was once thought impossible by making Kentucky a regular bowl game participant. When Stoops was hired, Kentucky could not fathom being so successful. Yet, in typical NCAA Football Betting fashion for college football fans, more is demanded. What Kentucky fans once would have crawled on broken glass, for it is now not good enough. Stoops can regain fan appreciation with an upset over the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday night.

Namely, Carson Beck needed a little more than a half to tie a Georgia record. Beck threw five touchdown passes. Also, he threw them to five players. Finally, he left the game less than three minutes into the third quarter. Beck’s five TD passes matched a school record that had been set seven other times. With a brief respite in their daunting schedule, Georgia breezed past an FCS school. Specifically, Tenn Tech received $550,000 to make the trip to Athens for a beating that was never in doubt.
In sum, Beck completed 18 of 25 passes for 242 yards before calling it a day. He had scoring throws of 22 yards to Dillon Bell, 6 yards to Colbie Young, 10 yards to Dominic Lovett, 50 yards to Arian Smith, and 37 yards to Lawson Luckie.
Many in the announced crowd of more than 93,000 headed for the exits at halftime. Consider it was a sweltering day with temperatures in the upper 80s. They didn’t miss much, as the Bulldogs pulled most of their starters shortly into the third quarter. With the Bulldogs leading 45-0, the fourth quarter was reduced to 10 minutes. Finally, Georgia finished with a 498-134 lead in total yards.
The Bulldogs got a chance to give playing time to a bunch of backups, which may pay dividends later in the season. Also, Gunnar Stockton took over for Beck and completed 10 of 12 passes for 90 yards. Branson Robinson scored on a 13-yard run. Meanwhile, running back Trevor Etienne made his Georgia debut, carrying the ball five times for 78 yards. The transfer from Florida showed his speed with a 45-yard run in the second quarter, which got the Bulldogs started on an 80-yard touchdown drive.
