ATHENS, Ga. (AP)—Kentucky scored 14 points off four Georgia second-half turnovers and the Wildcats rallied to beat the Bulldogs 34-27 on Saturday night for their first win in Athens in 32 years.

Kentucky’s Randall Cobb had scoring runs following Georgia turnovers at the Bulldogs’ 14- and 8-yard lines.

Joe Cox threw three touchdown passes, but had a screen pass intercepted by Kentucky defensive tackle Shane McCord to set up Cobb’s go-ahead 1-yard touchdown run with 9:55 remaining.

Kentucky (7-4, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) rallied from a 20-6 halftime deficit.

Washaun Ealey’s fumble on a pitch from Cox at the Kentucky 1 stopped the Bulldogs from tying the game with 2:21 remaining. Linebacker Danny Trevathan recovered the fumble for Kentucky.

Georgia (6-5, 4-4) had one more chance, but Cox was picked off by Sam Maxwell with 1:52 left.
