At the Whistle: Kentucky football takes down Murray State 48-6 to keep bowl hopes alive

Kentucky Football (4-6, 1-6) kept its bowl hopes alive on Saturday after it took down the Murray State Racers (1-10, 0-7) by a score of 48-6 at Kroger Field.

The Wildcats would grab the win despite missing crucial pieces on both sides of the football, with star defensive tackle Deone Walker along with wide receiver Barion Brown not suiting up to take on the Racers.

Murray State would receive the opening kick, but would give the ball to the Cats quickly following an interception by junior defensive back Jordan Lovett.

Kentucky would waste little time in getting on the board, with freshman wide receiver Hardley Gilmore IV connecting with quarterback Brock Vandagriff for a 52-yard touchdown and the first of Gilmore’s collegiate career.
