A few major mistakes prevented Kentucky from completely blowing the doors off New Mexico State. The Wildcats lead the Aggies 35-16 at halftime.
On the third UK offensive play of the game Will Levis failed to corral a snap. The Aggies picked up the loose ball and scrambled 25 yards for a score. The 7-0 deficit would not last. Kentucky went on a 28-3 run to take control of the game, but not without another annoying mistake.
Wan’Dale Robinson broke free for a 79-yard reception, the longest play of the season. Unfortunately, he ran out of steam just inside the five-yard line.
