ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - With about two minutes to go, the public address announcer at Sanford Stadium announced that Georgia freshman Fred Gibson had broken a 59-year-old school record.

"Freddie! Freddie! Freddie!" the crowd chanted.

"I wish they would call me Fred," Gibson moaned afterward. "I don't like Freddie."

That was about his only complaint Saturday. The freshman caught nine passes for a school-record 201 yards, hooking up with David Greene on two long scoring plays as No. 17 Georgia held on for a wild 43-29 victory over Kentucky.
