For nearly a full half of football under the lights at Kroger Field, Kentucky has done almost everything Mark Stoops could ask for, except finish drives. It's the agonizing story that continues to haunt this Wildcats team.
Dominating the clock, not the scoreboard
Kentucky has controlled the football against No. 21 Texas, holding the ball for significant stretches and putting together multiple drives of 10-plus plays. Through much of the first half, the Wildcats dictated the tempo, keeping Arch Manning and the Longhorn offense sidelined. Yet, despite that control, they find themselves trailing at the break.
The final time of possession reads Kentucky holding the ball nearly 19 minutes and Texas 11.
