Georgia Football: Georgia released “Bloody Tuesday” hype trailer
By Max Tolbert
Georgia Football released a hype trailer for this week’s game against Kentucky.
This week’s theme is Bloody Tuesday. Zion Logue narrates the trailer and explains what players must endure to get to Saturday. Bloody Tuesday is something that Kirby Smart talks a lot about. Smart brags about the tough practices at Georgia, and Bloody Tuesday is a significant part of those brutal practices.
Kentucky is one of the more physical opponents Georgia faces annually. Many players and Smart have said that Kentucky is one of the more formidable teams they play. Georgia looks to out-physical Kentucky, and that is the message for this week’s game.
This will be the 77th time the two teams have squared off against each other. The game was first played in 1939 and has been annually since 1956. Kentucky has never won back-to-back games in consecutive years in this series. The series has even had the future King of England come to Athens and watch the Dawgs vs. Cats. The now King of England, Charles, was just the scrappy 28-year-old Prince of Wales. Charles visited Sanford Stadium in 1977. The Dawgs lost the 33-0.
The longest winning streak for Kentucky in this series is two, with wins in 1949 and 1956. Georgia is on its longest win streak in the series, with 13 games in a row. The last time Georgia lost against Kentucky was in 2009.
Georgia has the upper hand in this series, leading it 62-12-2. This game has been played at each college’s campus. However, the first meeting was played in Louisville, and so was the third meeting.
Even though Georgia is a 14.5 favorite at home, under the lights, many believe Kentucky has a shot at beating the Dawgs. However, history and Las Vegas say differently. Can the Dawgs survive another test from a good SEC opponent? We will find out on Saturday.
