Georgia finally put the game away on the first play of the fourth quarter when Aaron Murray completed a 7-yard pass to Marlon Brown for a touchdown. It was the only score for either team in the second half.
Although the score was close and both teams had four turnovers, the Bulldogs dominated the stat sheet. Georgia outgained Kentucky 317 yards to 165 and held the ball 10:14 longer than the Wildcats.
Murray completed 16 of 29 passes for 162 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Orson Charles led the Georgia receivers with 3 catches for 40 yards.
Isaiah Crowell started the game at tailback but left after injuring his ankle on the second play. Brandon Harton stepped in and rushed 23 times for 101 yards. Carlton Thomas, the no. 2 running back, was not at the game today for personal reasons due to an unspecified violation of team rules.
Georgia has now won nine consecutive games and improves to 9-2 overall (7-1 SEC). They will face either Alabama, Arkansas or LSU in the Championship Game on Dec. 3.
Next up for Georgia is “Clean Old Fashioned Hate.” The Bulldogs travel to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech on Saturday, Nov. 26 at 12:00 p.m. The game will be televised by ABC or ESPN.

Go DAWGS & Go Coach (awesome PDA!) :)
Way to go DAWGS, but you're gonna have to beat LSU the way you beat Auburn. Everyone needs to be healthy and ready to play and control those penalties.
Why was Carlton Thomas not on the sidelines at the game?
Suspended for violation of team rules. That's all Richt said after the game.
