5 more thoughts, postgame notes & milestones from Kentucky’s win over Penn State

This game was a huge opportunity for Mark Stoops and this program, and they took full advantage of that opportunity and came away with a big time win over Penn State.

Throughout the season, Kentucky has relied heavily on its defense to shut down opponents and lead them to victory.

Through the first half, that was the case yet again.

The Cats’ defense stopped a fake punt attempt by Penn State which led to a FG giving Kentucky the early 3-0 lead.

A three and out, a missed FG, and another three and out led to a punt return TD by Lynn Bowden, extending the Kentucky lead to 10-0.
