If you broke down the matchup between Kentucky and Vanderbilt on paper, the Wildcats should have ran away with a win. The stats Mark Stoops’ team put on paper tell a much more disappointing story for the Big Blue Nation.
There were multiple statistical anomalies. Vanderbilt had just 13 sacks in its first nine games. Will Levis was sacked four times. Kentucky’s third down defense ranked 13th nationally, Vandy’s third down offense ranked No. 13 in the SEC and the Commodores converted 11-of-17 attempts, including the game-winning touchdown pass to Will Sheppard.
