GEORGIA’S OFFENSIVE SENIORS VS. THEIR LAST SHOT

Georgia’s offense is young.

But quarterback Joe Cox, receiver Michael Moore and lineman Vince Vance will take the Sanford Stadium field for the last time ever Saturday, and they’ll be looking to make a good show.

With A.J. Green out, Moore will be looking to have another game like he did against Tennessee and last season in the Capital One Bowl.

Cox will be looking for that one great send-off performance, and all of the younger playmakers will be looking to help.

TREVARD LINDLEY VS. GEORGIA MINUS A.J. GREEN

Kentucky’s Trevard Lindley has started every game of his college career (39) and almost went pro after last season. This preseason the senior was rated the No. 1 cornerback by many publications, all of who lauded his quickness and anticipation.

A match-up with Georgia’s star receiver A.J. Green could have been epic, but with the sophomore out with a shoulder injury, someone must step up in his absence.

“I don’t know if they would have changed for A.J. of not, but I’ll be shocked if they do anything differently than what they’ve been doing all year long because they have really done a nice job,” said Georgia coach Mark Richt.

Last week versus Auburn Israel Troupe, Tavarres King and the tight end combination of Aron White and Orson Charles filled the void. Georgia totaled 31 points after Green went down with his injury.

Lindley, a native of Hiram, after missing four games has only one interception this season, compared to four last year, but will be lurking Saturday.

He’ll look to take advantage of the Georgia offense without it’s focal point.

KENTUCKY O-LINE VS. GEORGIA D-LINE

Kentucky has the most experienced line in the SEC and they love to play physical on Saturdays.

The Wildcats are averaging nearly 180 yards a game on the ground, good enough for fifth in the conference.

Georgia’s defensive line, led by it’s three senior tackles, Jeff Owens, Geno Atkins and Kade Weston have seen increased success the last few weeks. The Bulldogs have been able to stop the run without using a safety for support, which supplements the passing game.

Kentucky likes to run the ball and stay balanced, so the battle in the trenches will be key in this matchup.

RANDALL COBB’S VERSATILITY VS. GEORGIA’S PREPARATION

Randall Cobb is a special football player.

He’s the type that can run, pass, catch, block and do anything else needed to get a victory.

Last year, then a freshman, Cobb torched Georgia, passing for three touchdowns and rushing for 105 yards in a near upset.

“They had a young guy in Cobb come in and I don’t think we prepared for him as much,” said Georgia safety Reshad Jones.

This season Cobb leads the team in all-purpose yards, at nearly 150 yards a game. He’s leads the team in receiving, is second in rushing and has thrown the ball occasionally. Cobb has 12 touchdowns on the season, and is deadly with the ball in his hands.

Stopping Cobb, means stopping the Kentucky offense, and Georgia has long-heard the details of Cobb’s performance last year. They’re preparing to see him in his full versatility Saturday.

GEORGIA DEFENSE VS. FRESHMAN QB

Georgia’s defense is replete with seniors: Defensive backs Prince Miller and Bryan Evans, linemen Jeff Owens, Kade Weston and Geno Atkins, and end Marcus Washington.

Kentucky is under the leadership of freshman quarterback Morgan Newton, who is 4-1 as a starter after preseason All-SEC quarterback Mike Hartline went down for the season.
