Georgia Bulldogs vs Kentucky Wildcats game Update

Tailback Washaun Ealey, whose fumbles cost him a spot in Georgia’s starting lineup earlier this season, claimed a spot in the Bulldogs’ record book here Saturday night. Ealey scored five touchdowns as resurgent Georgia extended its winning streak to three games and evened its record at .500 with a 44-31 victory over Kentucky in Commonwealth Stadium. Ealey’s touchdowns, all on runs of 3 yards or less, set a UGA single-game record for most rushing touchdowns and tied the school’s single-game record for most overall touchdowns. Ealey called the record "a great honor" but gave the credit to the offensive line and fullback Shaun Chapas. "They blocked hard all night and were more physical than Kentucky was," he said. As for his own performance: "I feel like I played up to my potential, and I have to keep doing it." Justin Houston had a look about him before the game. Georgia coach Mark Richt noticed it right away. "You could just see it in his eyes that he was ready, that he was ready to play hard and make some noise," Richt said of his junior linebacker. "“Justin was fired up and ready to play. He knew there was a good chance to get some sacks today." Houston was part of a defense that forced UK into nearly as many fumbles in the first half Saturday night (three) as it’s had all season. In all, the Georgia defense scored 21 points off of four Kentucky miscues.

"We’re very, very excited about winning a game somewhere besides Athens. It’s good to get three victories in a row. It’s good to even up our record in league play and overall. We’ve caught a good little bit of momentum, and I was really proud of how we came out ready to play again."
