Kentucky 45, Vanderbilt 28: It’s the turnovers, stupid

Related Topics: Kentucky

If you’re looking at that box score and thinking “That doesn’t look like the box score of a game that Vanderbilt lost 45-28,” well, you would be right.

Vanderbilt and Kentucky were basically tied in success rate; Kentucky’s offense got a few more big plays, with 13 plays of 12 yards or more (and six of 20 or more) to Vanderbilt’s six and four, respectively. The real difference, though: Vanderbilt committed three turnovers that led to 21 points for Kentucky, with two pick sixes and a third interception that was returned to the Vanderbilt 11 and punched in four a touchdown four plays later.
