Vanderbilt is not a good football team. But after a three-game losing streak threatened to derail the momentum of Kentucky’s 6-0 start, the Wildcats are in no position to get picky about wins.
Kentucky did exactly what a 21-point favorite is supposed to Saturday in Nashville, riding a dominant start to a comfortable 34-17 victory over Vanderbilt.
UK’s win extended Vanderbilt’s SEC losing streak to 19 games. It did little to change the narrative that Kentucky has built its 7-3 record by beating up on as favorable an SEC schedule as the program will ever get. Being outscored 14-3 in the second half erased some of the excitement of the dominant start.
None of that matters though.
Kentucky desperately needed a win, and it got one Saturday.
“After these past four weeks, it feels like forever since we got a win,” said quarterback Will Levis, who completed his first eight passes in the game and finished the win with 177 passing yards and two touchdowns. “We didn’t really do anything special this week. We kept pushing, we kept preparing as we have all season. … Feels great. Need to get some more here in the next couple of weeks.”
