ATHENS, Ga. - In his last home game, Billy Bennett finally got a game ball. Bennett kicked three field goals to become the Southeastern Conference's career scoring leader and David Greene threw for 289 yards to lead No. 6 Georgia past Kentucky 30-10 Saturday.

"It is a special thing, but I can't really say what it means," Bennett said of his record. "I'm just glad to get it off my back."

Bennett has 382 points in his career, and his 81 field goals also set a league record.

With the victory, the Bulldogs (9-2, 6-2 SEC) gained at least a share of the East Division title with Florida. Tennessee, which beat Vanderbilt on Saturday, could create a three-way tie by beating Kentucky next week. Georgia would benefit from that scenario, with the top team in the Bowl Championship Series standings getting a spot in the conference title game. In last week's rankings, the Bulldogs were sixth, a spot ahead of the Volunteers, with the Gators 13th.

Next week, Georgia finishes up against Georgia Tech.

"Hopefully, we'll take care of business next weekend ...," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said.

Jared Lorenzen completed 21 of 34 passes for 137 yards and an interception for UK (4-7, 1-6), which was held to 212 total yards.

"The score does not indicate how close the game was," Lorenzen said. "We were right there with them."

It was the final home game for outgoing Georgia athletic director Vince Dooley, who won 201 games in 25 years as Bulldogs coach.
