It wasn’t exactly a thing of beauty, but Kentucky football is 1-0 after holding off a feisty Toledo team 24-16 on Saturday.
Running back Dante Dowdell led the way for Kentucky with 14 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown. Backfield running mate Seth McGowan finished with 18 rushes for 78 yards and a score.
The Wildcats looked good on the ground and showed a lot of promise defensively, but the passing game was a different story.
Quarterback Zach Calzada was just 10-for-23 through the air for 85 yards, 0 touchdowns and 1 interception.
