It wasn’t always pretty, but for the second time this season, the Kentucky Wildcats took down a top-16 foe.
After beating then-No. 12 Florida in Week 2, Kentucky used another suffocating defensive effort to down No. 16 Mississippi State by a 27-17 margin that included a defensive score for the Bulldogs.
The Cats will now get a much-needed bye week while preparing to face the Tennessee Volunteers in Week 7, who will be ranked in the top five after beating Alabama and assuming the Vols beat UT-Martin next week.
Check back here later to see where Kentucky stands in the new college football rankings.
