SATURDAY’S STAR

Georgia sophomore tailback D’Andre Swift had a career-best 156 yards on 16 carries and helped provide the Bulldogs their largest lead at 28-3 with an 83-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter. Elijah Holyfield also posted a career high with 115 yards on 18 rushes.

SATURDAY’S STAT

Since the Southeastern Conference split into divisions in 1992, Georgia never had posted an undefeated record against its Eastern Division counterparts until last season. With the win in Lexington, the Bulldogs have now turned that trick for a second straight year.
