COLUMBIA, Miss. — Cold, wet, windy conditions rarely are conducive to high-scoring football. Those are the elements that welcomed Kentucky and Missouri football in Columbia, Missouri, Saturday morning.
It should come as no surprise, then, that the Wildcats and Tigers engaged in a defensive slugfest at Memorial Stadium.
UK won 21-17, for its all-important sixth victory of the season that ensures the Wildcats will be in a bowl game for the seventh year in a row.
Kentucky (6-3, 3-3 SEC) scored on its first possession Saturday, as Will Levis found Dane Key in the middle of the end zone for a record-breaking score by the freshman wideout.
