After a fast start on Saturday night at Kroger Field, things quickly turned ugly for Mark Stoops and the No. 23 Kentucky Wildcats, as they would fall to No. 25 Missouri, 38-21.
Kentucky jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and looked to be on cruise control as both the offense and defense seemed ready to get back in the win column after an embarrassing loss to No. 1-ranked Georgia last week.
However, Missouri scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter, triggered by a fake punt that resulted in a 39-yard touchdown throw from Missouri punter Luke Bauer who found Marquis Johnson in the end zone with 11:38 left remaining in the second quarter to cut the lead to 14-7.
