Missouri vs. Kentucky Score, Recap & Analysis

“We’re scratching and clawing for every victory”.

Asked what Flannigan brings to his defense, Stoops said: “Ryan was really playing some great football”. Mizzou, meanwhile, asked for more from players like Ray Wingo and Keyon Dilosa and got a little and asked for more vertical running from its running backs and got “improvement” in the form of 3.3 yards per carry.

Kentucky concluded September with a 3-1 record for the second consecutive season.

The game is scheduled to kickoff at 7:30 PM Eastern and can be seen on the SEC Network and WatchESPN app.

The drive stretched over the end of the first quarter into the second. Against Missouri, Towles threw a pair.

After the worst passing performance of his career, Patrick Towles rebounded. They lost the rematch to Florida but were able to pull out wins against Louisiana-Lafayette and South Carolina. “Coach and I tweaked something with my throwing motion and I felt I was more accurate”. A week ago, Towles was the goat in the Wildcats’ 14-9 home loss to Florida.

“Coach (DJ) Eliot – I mentioned it last week – he really had a good plan”, Stoops said. “He’s one play away from being in there full-time, and whatever I have to do to help him progress is what I’m going to do”. I’m just very proud. We just wanted to go out and just play our game and play free. Their play on Saturday showed why they weren’t the road favorites. Dorian Baker catches a 48 yard pass from Towles, but Cole Mosier is called for holding.

Johnson and the rest of the United Kingdom defensive front made the Tigers one-dimensional on offense, limiting Missouri to 111 yards rushing. So far he has no touchdown catches, in three receptions over 54 yards. Stanley Boom Williams led in rushing with 80 yards in 16 attempts. Maty Mauk is completing 52.5 percent of his passes for 474 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions.

Defensively, the Tigers were unable to stop Wildcat quarterback Patrick Towels when they needed to.

– Garrett Johnson ran six times for 119 yards. That knotted the score at seven apiece. Kicker Andrew Baggett missed his lone field goal.

Kemp acted as the catalyst for the team, as three of his carries totaled a combined 37 yards, giving United Kingdom a first-and-goal late in the third quarter. Conrad in turn has one 28 yard catch tonight, no touchdowns. “I think eventually he’s going to be alright”. He wants to work on getting the ball out faster. The Wildcats dropped two potential picks in the fourth, one at mid-field and another in the end zone. “We need to play better”. Missouri could still win the East, but doesn’t look like the kind of team that can score enough to do so. With 1:58 to go in the third quarter United Kingdom leads 14-10.

Sophomore Mikel Horton’s game-winning 12-yard touchdown in the final minute earned the 40-33 season-opening victory over Louisiana-Lafayette.
