Through two quarters at the home opener, Kentucky leads Miami (Ohio) by only three points after a frustrating first half by the Wildcats.
First, Kentucky’s defense allowed a 13-play, 75-yard opening drive to put the RedHawks on the board with the game’s first touchdown. Kentucky responded with a quick, five-play scoring drive of its own before two costly mistakes spoiled more touchdown fun. One was Will Levis’ interception inside the 5-yard-line, erasing a good look at seven more points. Then on the following Kentucky drive, Izayah Cummings dropped a wide-open touchdown pass and the ‘Cats settled for three.
