Three Plays: Mississippi State owns Kentucky in turnover battle

Kentucky walked away from Davis Wade Stadium with another defeat on Saturday night, but the final score was not indicative of the actual game.

The scoreboard says Kentucky lost by just two touchdowns, but it felt like much more than that. The Wildcats turned the ball over four times in nine possessions while Mississippi State created seven scoring opportunities in 11 possessions.

Mike Leach’s team owned the game on Saturday night and a lot of that was due to the turnover battle. It is going to be hard to lose a game when you look up and your team is plus-four in the turnover column.
