For the most part, it was a tale of two halves for the Kentucky Wildcats.
Compared to years past, fans saw a familiar start to the game. Kentucky had multiple turnovers, and aside from AJ Rose and Benny Snell finding each finding a gap in the CMU defense, had an offense that wasn’t moving the ball.
When Gunnar Hoak entered the game for Terry Wilson at quarterback, he sparked the offense in a 55 second drive down the field to take a halftime lead of 21-20. In the second half, Hoak continued to get reps before he was later replaced by Wilson.
