College football scores, results: Georgia hangs on to beat Kentucky 13-12

We almost had a major upset on Saturday, but in the end, No. 1 Georgia held on to beat Kentucky, 13-12.

Saturday started chalky with No. 4 Alabama blowing out Wisconsin after Badgers QB Tyler Van Dyke suffered an injury on the opening drive. No. 6 Missouri continued that with a nervy come-from-behind home win over No. 24 Boston College.

No. 16 LSU also needed to rally on the road against South Carolina after falling behind 17-0 early. The Tigers did just that, earning a crucial SEC win as the Gamecocks’ game-tying kick sailed wide as time expired.

In the later window, No. 2 Texas will be holding its breath after Heisman favorite Quinn Ewers went down with an abdominal injury early. Arch Manning stepped in and immediately showed why he was the top recruit in his class. He finished 9-for-12 for 223 passing yards, 4 passing touchdowns and one highlight-reel TD run in a runaway Texas win.

Perhaps the most notable result of the day was yet another disastrous Florida State loss.

Here are Week 3’s winners and losers, highlighted by the biggest disappointments of the young season.

Follow the rest of Saturday’s action below.

  • A strange game for the No. 1 Bulldogs, who trailed for most of the night and couldn’t get much going on offense. Nonetheless, Georgia wins its 42nd straight regular season game.

  • Last gasp for Kentucky

    Wildcats have the ball at the 20 with 9 seconds and no timeouts.

    Here we go.

    Punt? kick a FG? Go for it?

  • Georgia catches a break, gets a first down

    Oscar Delp dove short of the first down, but he fumbled it. His teammate then recovered it beyond the line to gain. So a big break for the Bulldogs there. This one isn’t QUITE over yet.

  • Georgia first down!

    Carson Beck delivers a strike to Dominic Lovett for a BIG Bulldogs first down near midfield.

    One more first down and that will seal it.

    Georgia can ice this one away with a couple first downs.

    The two-way star does it again, snagging his second touchdown of the day from Shedeur Sanders — this one a 21-yard catch.

    It took until the 4th quarter, but a team has finally found the end zone in this game.

    The Rams were inside CU’s 10-yard line after a fourth-down conversion, but CSU running back Justin Marshall fumbled the ball and Colorado recovered.

  • Catch of the day?

    Ole Miss beats Wake Forest 40-6, and this TD catch by Antwane Wells Jr. is worth another look.

  • Kentucky adds a FG

    Alex Raynor has been Kentucky’s MVP today. He nails a 40-yarder on UK’s opening drive of the 2nd half to extend the Wildcats’ lead to 9-3 over Georgia.

  • Touchdown Texas

    Make it four touchdowns on just 12 throws (plus one rushing TD) for Arch Manning since replacing Quinn Ewers. He was pulled from the game after the throw and third-stringer Trey Owens will finish the game.

  • Touchdown Colorado

    The Buffs are in the end zone again on a throw from Shedeur Sanders to Travis Hunter. They’re now up 21-3 and the Rams have not been able to mount much offense so far in this one.

  • Interception Colorado!

    The Buffs pick off CSU’s Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi deep inside his own territory on an errant throw. Shedeur Sanders and Co. will have the ball inside the red zone up 14-3.

  • We’re back for the second half of Colorado-CSU. The Buffs have looked much more capable after a slow start to the game.
