Kentucky left Kroger Field on Saturday with a 30-point blowout win that included explosive plays on offense, a pair of non-offensive touchdowns, and some splashy havoc plays from the front seven. The Wildcats handled their business, but there were some rough moments.
True freshman quarterback Kadin Semonza came off the bench in the third quarter to light up Kentucky’s zone coverage (7.9 yards per attempt on 21 throws) and was responsible for four explosive plays, but the defense made some key stops when backed up.
On offense, the Wildcats had just three possessions in the second half and bogged down multiple times on Ball State‘s side of the 50, but Liam Coen‘s offense ended productive drives with points.
