Kentucky could not have scripted a better start to Saturday’s game against Missouri. The offense marched down the field to score consecutive touchdowns to open the game, and the defense forced a turnover on the second possession after getting off the field in three plays to start the game. However, that was unable to prevent a 35-0 blitz by Missouri in the second and fourth quarters.
Things quickly unraveled for the Wildcats. The worst plays of the night on came on vertical sideline throws. Missouri won, and Kentucky didn’t. That flipped what was looking like a potential home blowout win and turned the Week 7 game into a blowout loss.
