<p>What a difference a year makes for the football programs at Kentucky and Georgia.</p><p>A year ago, the Wildcats had a shaky young quarterback named Andre Woodson and finished 3-8, while veteran D.J. Shockey led the Bulldogs to their third Southeastern Conference title in four years.</p><p>But when the same two teams met Saturday, with Shockey gone and Woodson throwing like a seasoned veteran, Kentucky did something it hadn't for a decade against Georgia: win.</p><p>Down came a Commonwealth Stadium goal post, and finally coach Rich Brooks got his signature win at Kentucky (5-4, 3-3).</p><p>"I don't think you could have scripted a better way for us to win," Brooks said. "It shows that if you just keep coming, just keep trying, good things are likely going to happen."</p><p>It was Tony Dixon's 3-yard scamper that provided the winning margin, but Woodson showed his maturity too. He threw two interceptions but got two more touchdowns, giving him 20 a year after throwing for only six.</p><p>"One great thing about this program is that everyone has heart," Woodson said. "No one gives up. We kept chipping away, we kept fighting, and we were able to pull it out."</p><p>Georgia (6-4, 3-4), already eliminated from repeating as SEC champs, now drops below the Wildcats in the conference standings. It has lost disappointing games this year to two perennial cellar-dwellars _ Kentucky and Vanderbilt, who the Wildcats host next.</p><p>Brooks warned against a letdown as Kentucky tries to wrap up a sixth win to become bowl eligible. It will get two chances at home before traveling to SEC powerhouse Tennessee to end the season.</p><p>"We don't want to waste this wonderful victory and not be able to play next week because we pat ourselves on the back about the good job we did this week," he said.</p><p>Running back Danny Ware, who had one of Georgia's two rushing touchdowns, said the team has had a target on its back all season.</p><p>"When you're the former SEC champion, everyone is gunning for you every game," Ware said. "But we have some little things we need to get corrected, and it's been going on like that all year. We can't seem to be able to put everything together."</p><p>Georgia has now lost four of its last five games, and turnovers continue to plague the Bulldogs, who now rank dead last in that category while Kentucky ranks among the national leaders.</p><p>Georgia's freshman quarterback Matthew Stafford threw three more interceptions Saturday, giving him 12 on the year compared to four touchdowns.</p><p>"They were just bad throws," Stafford said. "There is not much else I can say. I just have to come back and work harder next time."</p><p>Stafford, so far, has experienced the same type of growing pains Woodson endured last year. But, Woodson has lost same weight, making him quicker in the pocket to give him time to make the right decisions.</p><p>One of his touchdown throws to Keenan Burton in the back of the end zone couldn't have been better placed.</p><p>"During a game like this you have to stay poised and focused," Burton said. "There's a certain comfort zone you have to keep yourself in to stay relaxed. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement during the game, but you have to stay calm."</p><p>The players may have stayed calm, but the Homecoming crowd at Commonwealth Stadium went crazy. For the first time since a 1997 win over Alabama, fans stormed the field and took down a goal post.</p><p>"I was watching from a safe distance," said Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon. "It was a great feeling watching them take the goal post down. We deserve it as players. This city deserves it, and this university deserves it. They've waited a long time."</p>
