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

On Saturday we almost had a big surprise, but in the end number 1 Georgia held on and defeated Kentucky 13-12.

Saturday started off chalkily with No. 4 Alabama blowing out Wisconsin after Badgers QB Tyler Van Dyke suffered an injury on the opening drive. No. 6 Missouri followed that up with a nail-biting comeback win at home over No. 24 Boston College.

No. 16 LSU also needed to stage a comeback when visiting South Carolina fell behind 17-0 early. The Tigers did just that, earning a crucial SEC victory when the Gamecocks’ tying kick went wide as time expired.

In the later window, No. 2 Texas will be holding its breath after Heisman favorite Quinn Ewers suffered an early abdominal injury. Arch Manning stepped in and immediately showed why he was the top recruit in his class, finishing 9 of 12 for 223 passing yards, four passing touchdowns and a highlight-reel TD run in a blowout win for Texas.

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

Below are the winners and losers from Week 3, highlighting the biggest disappointments of the young season.

Follow the rest of Saturday’s action below.
