Dawgs and Cats Remain Undefeated
Georgia is the nation’s top team following its 34-10 victory at Auburn last Saturday. Simultaneously, Kentucky climbed five spots in the AP Top-25 to No. 11 after it knocked off LSU at home, 42-21. The undefeated SEC East rivals will clash in Athens, Ga., this Saturday. On paper, it will be a battle between two elite defenses. The Bulldogs lead the nation in scoring defense (5.5 points per game) and yards allowed per game (203.5) and the Wildcats rank inside the top-15 in both categories.
