Looking at the stats, it looks like a tale of two halves, and the Dawgs' defense.

Kentucky had the upper hand in time of possession with 35:02 to the Dawgs' 24:58. That's a difference of 10:04, which is significant.

Kentucky ran a total of 73 offensive plays, including 45 rushing attempts. Georgia ran a total of only 54 offensive plays, including 30 rushing attempts.

Key, though... Georgia ran a total of 23 offensive plays in the 1st half. Kentucky ran 41 offensive plays in the first half. Enormous difference.

Both teams were almost dead-even in the second half with Georgia running 31 plays and Kentucky running 32. I'm counting the punts in those numbers (tallied totals from the play-by-play).

One key stat... Dawgs were only 5 of 13 on 3rd down conversions, 1 of 6 in the first half. Dawgs were 4 of 7 in the second half. Big improvement. Kentucky was 9 of 16.

Glaring stat, and maybe "the" key stat of the game (aside from the final score)... Kentucky had 23 first downs. Dawgs had 12.

Kentucky had 11 first downs in the first half (including one from a penalty). Dawgs had 3 first downs in the entire first half!

Kentucky had 12 first downs in the second half, and the Dawgs had 9 first downs in the second half. Major improvement.

Dawgs punted 6 times. Kentucky punted 4 times.

Only 1 turnover in the game... that being the sack/fumble of Kentucky QB Vandagriff, which led to a Dawg field goal.

With those first half stats, with the game being played at Lexington, at night, the Dawgs were behind only 6-3 at halftime. That cannot be ignored.

Then, we have the fact that the Dawgs' defense did not allow ANY touchdowns, holding Kentucky to 4 field goals. That is huge.

For the Dawgs' offense, it looks like a tale of two halves. Sump'n got done during halftime adjustments.

For the Dawgs' defense, it looks like they were bend but don't break, only allowing field goals all night. The sack/turnover turns out to be key, as we got 3 points off of it.... 3 significant points.
John 14:6

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

1 Timothy 2:5-6

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the witness for this proper time.

Acts 4:12

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Thorson jokes about never kicking but thank god he was there for us.

I was at the game.

Felt like we should be down 10 or more at the half, based on the way our offense played.

Glad Stoops didn’t throw once to the end zone at the end of the first half.
