The Last Time Kentucky Played Murray State
Kentucky and Murray State have a storied tradition as in-state football rivals.
Just Kidding.
The Wildcats and the Racers have only played once. More than 63,000 fans were in the Commonwealth Stadium stands when Rich Brooks took the field for only the second time as the Wildcats’ head coach.
The Cats took a first quarter lead when Jared Lorenzen connected on an 11-yard touchdown pass to Derek Abney. In the next five minutes of game time, Lorenzen connected with Chris Bernard for a 60-yard touchdown and the UK defense recorded a safety. Jared threw one more touchdown pass before half to put the game out of reach.
