Kentucky football was bested for the second time in a row on its home field by the Vanderbilt Commodores.
With fans reeling from the disappointing loss, several key elements stuck out from the loss.
1) Penalties
Kentucky has had many instances in the past couple seasons of excessive penalties during a game, including in last year’s 38-21 loss to Missouri, which saw the Cats committing a staggering 14 penalties.
Penalties have not been a major issue for the team this season until tonight, when Kentucky committed a staggering 12 penalties.
The Cats committed four of those in the first quarter alone, including two for 25 yards on the opening drive that backed them out of field goal range and forced a punt.
