The Kentucky football team overcame a few early obstacles in the season-opener, eventually opening up the offense to defeat Miami (OH) 37-13. The win is Mark Stoops’ 60th as the Kentucky head coach, tying Bear Bryant for the most in school history.
Quarterback Will Levis led the way for the Wildcats, completing 21-of-32 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns. Tayvion Robinson was his primary target, catching six balls for 136 yards. The offense displayed some aerial firepower with new pass-catching weapons for Levis, but it was defense and special teams that changed the game.
