Highlights, box score and MVP from Kentucky stomping New Mexico State

The Kentucky Wildcats stomped the New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday afternoon by a score of 56-16.

The Cats didn't get off to the best start as Will Levis botched a snap on the opening drive and failed to dive on the ball, which resulted in an Aggie fumble return touchdown to jump out to a 7-0 lead. However, Kentucky didn't waste any time bouncing back as Levis drove right down the field and threw a 32-yard strike to Justin Rigg to tie the game at 7-7.

The quick scoring was followed by three-and-outs by both teams, but Quandre Mosely got the Cats back into the scoring column with a 38-yard pick six to give UK a 14-7 lead.
