DAWG BONES OFFENSE: GEORGIA<br />

Georgia has the second most productive offense in the SEC, while<br />

Kentucky has the least. <strong>The</strong>re’s a 1,600 yard disparity between Georgia<br />

and Kentucky’s total production which leans Georgia’s way. And some<br />

may bring up the “Will Levis is a first-round pick” gist, but the fact of the<br />

matter is no one he’s throwing or handing the ball off to will go that<br />

high. Levis is a sharp tool in a dusty shed while the Georgia offense in<br />

comparison is simply put: a well-oiled machine.<br />

DAWG BONES DEFENSE: GEORGIA<br />

In the SEC, both Georgia and Kentucky boast the best and third best<br />

defenses respectively, but the thing that sets Georgia apart is their run<br />

defense. <strong>The</strong> Dawgs have allowed 825 rushing yards on the season to the<br />

Wildcat’s 1,350, and overall you can say Georgia has the more talented<br />

roster. Kirby Smart and his crew take the cake here especially after<br />

Kentucky’s wild loss to Vanderbilt last week.<br />

DAWG BONES SPECIAL TEAMS: GEORGIA<br />

Kentucky’s kick return game is a bit better than Georgia’s, but Georgia’s<br />

punt returning is better than Kentucky’s unit. So they’re about even in<br />

the returning category, but the Dawgs pull away with Podlesny at boot.<br />

His season field goal percentage is 89.5% to the Kentucky kicker, Matt<br />

Ruffalo’s 63.2%. Both have taken 19 attempts.<br />

DAWG BONES COACHING: GEORGIA<br />

Proof is in the pudding. One of these coaching staffs is leading the<br />

College Football Playoff committee ranked No. 1 team in the nation to<br />

an SEC Championship where they’ll likely be favored, and one of them<br />

isn’t. You can also assess how these staff are instilling discipline within<br />

their teams by looking at the amount of penalties they’ve drawn thus far.<br />

As of week 9, the Dawgs have had 17 less penalties than the Cats, and<br />

nothing much should change in Lexington.<br />

DAWG BONES OVERALL: GEORGIA<br />

<strong>The</strong> College Football Playoff committee thinks this is the No. 1 team<br />

in the nation. <strong>The</strong> Associated Press poll thinks this is the No. 1 team in<br />

the nation. You probably think this is the No. 1 team in the nation. And<br />

truth is that the Georgia Bulldogs are undoubtedly the No. 1 team in the<br />

nation. Not only has Kirby Smart recruited the most, if not one of the<br />

most, talented rosters in the nation, he’s created an unbeatable culture<br />

amongst that group in the process. Yes, this will be a home game for the<br />

Kentucky Wildcats, but should be nothing more than a business trip for<br />

the Georgia Bulldogs.<br />
