The No. 10-ranked Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1 SEC) play host to Kentucky (3-3, 1-3) at 6 p.m. on Saturday at Sanford Stadium (TV: ESPN).

Georgia is a program that has been viewed by many as the successor to Alabama, in terms of SEC dominance.
The Bulldogs haven’t been able to get over the hump head-to-head with the Tide. And now losing to an unranked Gamecocks team — at home, at that — was a big step back.
Smart and his coaching staff have some hard decisions to make moving forward, in terms of offensive philosophy and personnel. It was among many things discussed in the On The Beat show this week.
