Good morning, folks! Saturday’s game was… odd. I think that’s the best (only?) way to describe it at this point. What’s even odder is how narrowly escaping with home victories over FCS teams is becoming a common tradition under head coach Mark Stoops. Kentucky needed all four quarters to sneak past the Eastern Kentucky Colonels, outscoring EKU 14-3 in the third quarter to help lock up a 28-17 Week 2 win.
EKU came out of the gates with the intention of pulling off the upset. The Colonels started things off with a blocked punt that they turned into a six-play, 30-yard touchdown drive on the ensuing possession.
