Blue Review: Instant analysis from Kentucky’s football win over Missouri

Instant analysis from Kentucky’s 40-34 homecoming win over Missouri:

How the game was won

Stephen Johnson threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns and Austin MacGinnis kicked four field goals as UK survived on homecoming night.

Game balls

1. Stephen Johnson. All he does is win.

2. Garrett Johnson. Kentucky senior wideout (seven catches, 111 yards, one TD) was clutch on a night when clutch was needed.

3. UK special teams. Fake punt conversion by Kash Daniel and blocked field goal by Lonnie Johnson helped UK escape.
