Smiley plunged for touch downs twice from two yards out and paced Georgia rushers with 100 yards on two carries. Georgia's other touchdown came on a nine-yard pass from quarterback Mike Cavan to flanker Charles Whittemore. Georgia safety Buck Swindle set up the touchdown, the game's first points, midway in the first quarter when he returned a Kentucky punt 55 yards to the Wildcat nine behind a near perfect wall of blockers. Kentucky, its offense shackled by Georgia's small but quick defenders, was unable to penetrate into Georgia territory until the third quarter. The Wild cats marched from their own 20 to the Georgia six, but a fumble by quarterback Bernie Scruggs ended Kentucky's only scoring threat.

Kentucky fumbles set up Mc Cullough's first two field goals. A Scruggs pitchout to Roger Gann went awry in the first quarter and David McKnight recovered at the Kentucky 22. Three plays later McCullough kicked his 32-yarder to make it 10-0. Late in the second quarter, Wildcat Paul Martin fumbled a punt at the 21 and Steve Farns-worth fell on It.
