This one had hangover written all over it. It was fresh off the biggest win of the Mark Stoops era and had a sleepy noon kickoff on the SEC alternate channel versus an opponent that is going to struggle to win games in the Ohio Valley Conference.
After a slow moving and sometimes rocky first half, Kentucky came out focused and put away the Racers in the second half behind five consecutive scoring drives. The defense forced multiple three-and-outs and got a takeaway in the fourth quarter.
Good teams don’t let inferior opponents hang around and Kentucky put away Murray State when it needed to be done.
