There was a ton of negativity following Georgia’s performance against Kentucky. The 22-point favorite Bulldogs barely squeezed by to win 13-12. On a positive note, there were two Georgia players that had standout performances in the road win. Pro Football Focus rewarded them with spots on their All-SEC Team from Week 3.
Dylan Fairchild, LG
The news of guard Tate Ratledge leaving the game due to injury might’ve distracted some Georgia fans from Dylan Fairchild’s excellent performance. He was considered one of the top guards returning to Georgia in 2024, and he balled out in Ratledge’s absence. No one on the Kentucky front seven registered a sack and Georgia allowed only three tackles for a loss.
Julian Humphrey, CB (Flex Spot)
Humphrey was added as a flex, but that underrated how well he did against Kentucky. He recorded a tackle and a pass deflection. He was here for his impressive man coverage. No Kentucky player accrued over 35 receiving yards on the day. Some of that had to do with pressures from the pass rush, but quarterback Brock Vandagriff had to hold on the the ball more because of Humphrey. He even played through the game with a broken tooth.
