Here are five takeaways from UK’s home opener.
1. The Win:
That was frustrating, but at least the Cats finally turned it on and beat a pesky Southern Illinois team. The first half was horrendous and the start of the second half was even worse. Kentucky looked disinterested, lethargic and had no interest in taking care of the ball. That’s pretty concerning coming off the beatdown on Tuesday, but UK did eventually wake up and used 26-13 run to close out the game. A run like that is impressive and runs like that are what we expected from this group.
