Kentucky football’s poor second quarter has been a consistent flaw in SEC play

No. 24 Kentucky football (5-2) suffered its first home loss of the season 38-21 on Saturday, Oct. 14, against the Missouri Tigers.

Following Kentucky’s dominant first quarter, it’s safe to say that the final outcome was not expected by fans in attendance.

Quarterback Devin Leary and running back Ray Davis put up two touchdowns together during those first fifteen minutes of the game while holding Missouri to just 16 total offensive yards.
