It was mostly a quiet, vanilla kind of day at Kroger Field.

Then Kentucky decided to spice things up a bit with a little trick play near the end of the third quarter that gave the fans something to remember from the Cats’ 48-10 victory over winless Murray State.

The trickery included a 49-yard touchdown play for sophomore wide receiver Zy’Aire Hughes after Benny Snell connected on a shovel pass to quarterback Terry Wilson, who left it for Hughes.

On his first-ever offensive touch, the Paducah native took it 49 yards for the score to put the Cats up 34-3 on Saturday.
