After a combined 2-6 October for Kentucky and Georgia, both teams are looking to get back on track. Here’s a position-by-position breakdown for when the Wildcats visit the Bulldogs:

QUARTERBACK – Kentucky: Neither team can go into Saturday boasting about its signal-caller situation. UK QB Patrick Towles has more interceptions (10) than touchdowns (9), with a majority of the picks (6) coming in October. The Wildcats at least know what they have in Towles (162-of-275, 1914 yards, 9 TD, 10 INT). Georgia recently benched pocket-passing QB Greyson Lambert in favor of the more mobile QB Faton Bauta. A rough outing by Bauta against Florida (15-of-33, 154 yards, 4 INT) doesn’t help the situation.

RUNNING BACKS – Georgia: Another undesirable situation for both teams. UGA has already lost RB Nick Chubb for the season, and backup Sony Michel broke a bone in his hand in the game against Florida (13 carries, 45 yards) but expects to be able to play on Saturday. Behind Michel, the Bulldogs have Keith Marshall, a former five-star recruit in his fourth year who has battled multiple injuries and sat on the bench watching Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb the past few seasons.

Kentucky will be without its top running back, Stanley “Boom” Williams (85 carries, 563 yards, 3 TD) against the Bulldogs due to an elbow injury. The Wildcats will ask Mikel Horton and Jojo Kemp to step up in Williams’ absence. Horton gained 109 yards on 14 carries against Tennessee.

WIDE RECEIVERS, TIGHT END – Kentucky: Even though Towles struggles with turnovers, he’s still the No. 4 passer in the SEC by yardage (1,914) and the Wildcats receivers are getting plenty of chances. Garrett Johnson has 562 receiving yards on the year, good enough for No. 6 in the conference. Dorian Baker and Jeff Badet also register in the top-25 in receiving yards with 441 and 325 respectively.

Georgia’s Malcolm Mitchell is one of the best receivers in the SEC, and is No. 4 in total receiving yards with 565. Mitchell, however, is about the only reliable component to UGA’s passing game. Terry Godwin is quite a dropoff in production at only 245 yards on the year.

OFFENSIVE LINE – Georgia: For all the Bulldogs struggles, Lambert was one of the least-sacked quarterbacks in the league at only five takedowns in the backfield. Run blocking has been relatively consistent too, as Chubb and Michel make up two of the conference’s top-11 rushes.

Towles has endured the worst protection of any SEC quarterback, having been sacked 22 times this season. Without Williams carrying the ball, Kentucky will be even more dependent on its blockers opening up holes for Kemp and Horton.

DEFENSIVE LINE – Georgia: Neither group is particularly dominating in pass rush, but Georgia’s defense has given up fewer rushing yards per game (138) than Kentucky (182.2). DT Sterling Bailey leads the UGA linemen with 33 tackles, including six against Florida. Wildcats DT Cory Johnson leads the way up front with 49 tackles. Johnson returned a fumble 77 yards for a touchdown against Tennessee.

LINEBACKERS – Georgia: The Bulldogs are deep at linebacker and get a good chunk of tackles from the position. UGA uses OLB Jordan Jenkins (SEC’s active leader with 18 career sacks), LB Leonard Floyd (6 tackles vs. Florida), OLB Davin Bellamy (team-leading 7 tackles, forced fumble and fumble recovery against Florida), ILB Tim Kimbrough (52 tackles this season) and leading tackler Jake Ganus (55) also on the inside.

MLB Josh Forrest leads Kentucky’s linebackers with 66 tackles. He also has one interception.

SECONDARY – Georgia: Both teams are coming off of losses, but neither secondary was particularly dominated through the air. Tennessee QB Joshua Dobbs went 16-of-26 against UK for 233 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Georgia was lit up by Dobbs (25-of-42, 312 yards, 3 TD, INT), but has since allowed only 298 combined passing yards to Florida and Missouri.

On the whole, UGA ranks No. 21 in passing yards allowed, giving up only 183 yards per game compared to No. 74 Kentucky’s 232.4 yards per game.
