Kentucky football (6-3) overcame a late deficit to defeat Missouri 21-17 in Columbia, finishing out the Wildcats’ road-schedule with a win.
“I’m very proud of our football team,” Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops said. “There’s ups and downs and you have to be able to respond and bounce back. I was really proud of our defense, I thought (the defense) really played solid.”
It was a low scoring affair in “CoMo” with both teams entering the halftime with just one score as Kentucky led 7-3.
The Cats forced a three-and-out on their first defensive possession before marching downfield to score a touchdown thanks to a nine-yard pass from quarterback Will Levis to freshman wide receiver Dane Key.
