Final whistle: Kentucky football takes down Akron 35-3

Kentucky football defeated the Akron Zips 35-3 on Saturday, Sept. 16, in Lexington during the 50th anniversary of Kroger Field.

The win marked the third consecutive week in which the Wildcats have played at home in the Bluegrass.

During its previous matchup, Kentucky got off to an unbalanced start against Eastern Kentucky, but found its rhythm in the second half to defeat the Colonels 28-17.

After the starting whistle, the Wildcats proved they had learned from past mistakes and found the endzone on their first drive of the game, courtesy of a six-yard pass to sophomore tight end Josh Kattus for his first career touchdown.
