Coming in to tonight’s game vs. Mississippi State, Kentucky’s defense had zero turnovers, tied for last in the country. Through two games, the Cats’ secondary allowed over 550 passing yards and seven touchdowns, and with Mike Leach and the Air Raid offense coming to town, fans feared the worst. Instead, Kentucky’s defense produced SIX interceptions, the most since the Cats picked off Chris Doering seven times in the infamous loss to Florida in 1993. Mississippi State’s two points are the fewest scored by a Mike Leach offense EVER. As you might expect, Mark Stoops was thrilled.
“Really proud of our team.
