Kentucky football (1-0) defeated Ball State by a score of 44-14 on Saturday to open its 2023 season in a game that shared many similarities with the team’s 2022 season opener against Miami (OH).

Saturday’s win marked fifteen straight wins against teams from the Mid-American Conference (MAC) for the Wildcats, a streak which dates back to 2006 and includes the previous season’s victory over Miami.
