Carson Beck established career highs of 389 yards and four touchdown passes to help top-ranked Georgia roll to a 51-13 victory over No. 20 Kentucky on Saturday night in Southeastern Conference play at Athens, Ga.

Brock Bowers caught seven passes for 132 yards and a touchdown for Georgia (6-0, 3-0 SEC), which extended its school-record winning streak to 23 consecutive games. Bowers moved into second place in school history with 24 career touchdown catches, trailing only Terrence Edwards (30 from 1999-2002).

Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint (99 yards), Rara Thomas, Oscar Delp and Andrew Paul also had scoring catches for the Bulldogs. Beck completed 28 of 35 passes and Kendall Milton rushed for a touchdown as Georgia gained 608 total yards while defeating Kentucky for the 14th consecutive time.

Devin Leary was 10-of-26 passing for 128 yards and two touchdowns for the Wildcats (5-1, 2-1). Ray Davis had a scoring reception and rushed for 59 yards on 15 carries after compiling a career-high 280 rushing yards against Florida one week earlier.

Josh Kattus caught a touchdown pass for Kentucky, which gained 183 yards.

Georgia had a 384-127 yardage edge while building a 34-7 halftime lead.

The Bulldogs began the game with a seven-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Beck's 40-yard scoring pass to Rosemy-Jacksaint.

Georgia's second excursion was 82 yards over seven plays, with Beck tossing a 15-yard touchdown pass to Thomas.

The third possession saw the Bulldogs travel 95 yards on 13 plays. Beck capped it with a 5-yard scoring pass to Delp with 11:03 left in the second quarter.

Kentucky got on the board on Leary's 4-yard pass to Kattus with 6:44 remaining in the half.

Peyton Woodring kicked a 36-yard field goal and Milton scored on a 5-yard run to boost George's lead to 31-7. Woodring added a 42-yard field goal as time expired in the half.

Davis caught a pass from Leary and turned it into a 26-yard touchdown pass with 10:34 left in the third quarter. The two-point conversion run failed.

Woodring tacked on a 32-yard field goal more than seven minutes later. Bowers caught a 21-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left in the period to make it 44-13, snapping a tie with school legend A.J. Green (2008-10) for second-most career scoring receptions.

Backup quarterback Brock Vandagriff tossed a 7-yard scoring pass to Paul on fourth down with 2:38 remaining to cap a 12-play, 92-yard drive.
