The Bulldogs scored more points than any team has scored against UK’s defense all season, thanks to a versatile rushing attack. Elijah Holyfield bruised away before D’Andre Swift broke free. The Dawgs gained 332 yards on the ground, too much for the Cats to keep up.
The tide began to turn against Kentucky in the first half. Facing a third and four from the six yard-line, the Cats needed to capitalize with a touchdown. Instead, a false start made it a third and long, a third down that resulted in a sack. Kentucky missed an incredible scoring opportunity.
