LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Neither Georgia players nor coach Kirby Smart doubted they would be the last ones standing in a dogfight with Kentucky.
It just took the top-ranked Bulldogs longer than expected to prove it. Much longer.
Branson Robinson rushed for a 3-yard, go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and Georgia overcame a lethargic performance to rally past and then hold off Kentucky 13-12 on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) struggled to find continuity on either side of the ball and trailed 9-3 early in the third quarter against a Wildcats squad intent on rebounding from their own flat effort in a 31-6 home loss to conference-rival South Carolina. Peyton Woodring's 30-yard field goal late in the third quarter got Georgia within three before the 'Dawgs followed with their longest drive of the night at just the right time.
