Georgia wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie scores a touchdown on 59-yard punt return during the second half against Kentucky on Saturday.LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Georgia Bulldogs insisted all week that they had moved on from last week’s disappointing loss to Florida.
They went out and proved it Saturday.
Georgia took a 7-0 lead within the first 11 seconds on Isaiah McKenzie’s 90-yard kickoff return and kept pouring it on in a 63-31 rout of Kentucky at Commonwealth Stadium. The Bulldogs racked up 559 yards and registered their highest point total against a Southeastern Conference foe since a 75-0 blanking of Florida in 1942.
“I felt like everything was clicking, and it felt good to just play really well,” Bulldogs quarterback Hutson Mason said. “It’s always cool when you put up 63, no matter how it’s done. I’m just proud of this team and how we performed after a rough week last week.”
So dominant were the Bulldogs offensively that they had two more touchdown passes than incompletions. Mason was 13-of-16 for 174 yards and four touchdowns, while backup Brice Ramsey was 5-for-5 for 80 yards and a score.
