After two full weeks off since getting scorched at South Carolina, it was anything but a solid start for Kentucky in what was considered to be a must-win game against a 2-3 Arkansas team.
Junior running back Rakeem Boyd went untouched on a 74 yard rushing play on the Razorbacks opening drive, which immediately took the energy out of Kroger Field. From there, it was much of the same, as Kentucky struggled to stop Arkansas rushing attack, which posted over 100 yards in the first quarter, 108 of those coming from Boyd.
The Cats’ offense on the other hand sputtered early as they tried several different formations and lineups.
