No. 7 Kentucky football (4-1) suffered its first loss of the season, coming up short 22-19 in Oxford against No. 14 Ole Miss (5-0).

The result ultimately came down to UK consistently shooting itself in the foot, costing itself around 20 points with mistakes and turnovers.

“Very difficult loss for our team,” head coach Mark Stoops said. “We didn’t play very precise in certain areas. We left points on the board, but I’m extremely proud of our team coming into halftime. Everybody had a calmness about it and they felt like we were going to go back out there in the second half and come back.
