Mark Stoops and Wildcats recap season-opening win

On Saturday night, the Kentucky Wildcats kicked off the season against the Miami (OH) RedHawks.

On the first drive, the Wildcats fell victim to an efficient 5-minute, 75-yard drive from the RedHawks. However, Will Levis and the offense quickly answered with a two-minute, 79-yard touchdown drive of their own, which started with a 45-yard connection to Tayvion Robinson.

Despite the two quick scores to start the game, neither team could put together any real rhythm to follow that. Kentucky did make it to the red zone three more times, but it resulted in an interception and two field goals as they entered halftime with a 13-10 lead.
