The biggest storyline heading into Kentucky’s SEC opener vs. Vanderbilt was Ray Davis‘ return to Nashville. After playing an integral role in the Commodores’ win over the Cats at Kroger Field last year, Davis switched sides, transferring to Kentucky over the offseason. All week, he had a mature approach to playing his former team, telling reporters, “It’s not Ray Davis vs. Vanderbilt, it’s Kentucky Football vs. Vanderbilt.” After scoring two touchdowns in Kentucky’s 45-28 win, Davis was happy to exhale.
“I feel great. It’s great to close that chapter and finally move on and now focus on something much more important,” Davis said in the postgame press conference.
