This is the best defense that Georgia has played on the road the last two years. Kentucky ranks top 20 in opponent QB rating, sack %, and they are 12th vs. the run. Georgia has played two similar defenses on the road who were top 25 in pass defense with Jake Fromm and they lost both by 22, and 23 points to Auburn & LSU, who are two teams also not known for their explosive offense. Fromm really struggled in those two games, and I expect he will struggle here on the road against Josh Allen and company. Fromm vs. LSU/Auburn a combined 2 TD's 2 INT's 29-62 46.7% completion rate, with 393 yards. LSU has the #87 pass rush, and #58 run defense to go along with those #'s, and Kentucky is 12th vs. the run, 15th in pass rush. Auburn last year was 18th in opponent QB Rating, 27th pass rush, and 27th vs. the run as the closes example to this Kentucky defense that has been tested at this point by good passing offenses (Missouri), and good rushing offenses.

On the flip side if we look at Georgia's impressive performance last week, and we were on the wrong side with our POD on Florida +7. Georgia scored all 4 TD's on third down, and they had +3 TO margin. What is also hidden is Florida's QB Franks missing a wide open receiver for a TD on the first play of the game which would have completely changed the momentum, because what happened next was a fumble by a Florida RB and suddenly it's 10-0. Kentucky's strength is obviously running the ball, and they rank 26th doing so, and will be going up against a small inexperienced front 7 that can be had. Georgia 72nd vs. the run compared to Kentucky #12 rating and they have not faced stronger rushing offenses than Kentucky. If they want to crowd the box I think Terry Wilson is fully capable of taking advantage. Georgia ranks 110th in sack % so it's not like they can come after the mobile QB. I hope the game plan features Kentucky throwing a couple of deep passes early and they get a lead that they can lean on Benny Snell and Terry Wilson at home.
