LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) _ Matthew Stafford threw for 376 yards and
the go-ahead touchdown to A.J. Green with 1:54 remaining to lift
No. 14 Georgia to a 42-38 win over Kentucky on Saturday.

Knowshon Moreno ran for 123 yards and three scores and wide
receiver Mohamed Massaquoi atoned for two fumbles by hauling in a
career-high eight receptions for 191 yards and a touchdown as the
Bulldogs (8-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) survived a major scare
from the Wildcats (6-4, 2-4).

Freshman quarterback Randall Cobb ran for 82 yards and three
scores for the Kentucky, but threw an interception to Georgia's
DeMarcus Dobbs at the Georgia 13 with 46 seconds remaining and the
Bulldogs escaped.

A week after getting embarrassed by Florida, the Bulldogs nearly
slipped up again against the Wildcats. Kentucky dominated the line
of scrimmage and took advantage of shaky Georgia special teams to
overcome an early 14-point deficit to lead 38-35 with 4 minutes
left.

Stafford, however, hit Massaquoi for 78 yards to put the ball
inside the Kentucky 10. On 3rd-and-goal from the 11, Stafford
avoided the rush and rolled to his right, flipping the ball to
Green in the back of the end zone for his third touchdown pass of
the day.
