Overview
- The Bulldogs handed Western Kentucky a lopsided loss, winning 70-20 at Sanford Stadium, a result reported Saturday, Sept. 12 by local box scores.
- Georgia dominated on both sides of the ball, holding the Hilltoppers to 225 total yards while building a 49-6 halftime lead.
- Quarterback Gunner Stockton led the pass attack with 234 yards, Ryan Puglisi added 79 rushing yards, and Sacovie White-Helton paced receivers with 70 yards.
- The margin exceeded pregame expectations and a College Football 27 simulation that had predicted a 38-10 Georgia win, and it followed Georgia’s 63-3 season-opening victory over Tennessee State.
- The win keeps Georgia on track as it aims to defend its SEC title and College Football Playoff position and gives coach Kirby Smart a chance to evaluate depth before the Sept. 19 SEC opener at Arkansas.
