No. 23 Kentucky doomed by mistakes as upset bid of No. 8 Auburn falls short

No. 23 Kentucky looked like it was potentially in position to upset No. 8 Auburn on the road on Saturday. And then the wheels fell off.

Trailing 15-13, the Wildcats regained possession in the first minute of the fourth quarter with a chance to take the lead. They would never come close.

Three plays into that drive, quarterback Terry Wilson fumbled, giving Auburn great field position. Five plays later, Bo Nix lobbed one up in the end zone for Seth Williams, who snatched the ball away from the UK defender for a highlight-reel touchdown.

Kentucky’s next possession ended with another brutal mistake.
