Watch out! The Kentucky Wildcats have strung together three straight wins, improving their record to 5-5 on the season thanks to their 42-10 win over Tennessee Tech.
With two games remaining, Mark Stoops has an opportunity to finish 2025 much stronger than anyone anticipated just a few short weeks ago.
Saturday’s last home game of the year wasn’t a typical mid-November contest. It was a different vibe facing an undefeated FCS opponent. Tennessee Tech has built a terrific program and showed up to Lexington
with a perfect 10-0 record.
The Golden Eagles brought a nice crowd with them, but were obviously outmatched by UK’s size and talent advantages on both sides of the ball.
The first half featured an offensive clinic from Cutter Boley and the Cats. Their 28 points and 267 yards came by way of a balanced attack. Seth McGowan had 13 carries and found himself in the end zone three different times. Kendrick Law got in on the action by hauling in an impressive eight receptions, tallying 102 yards in just the first two quarters.
I think for both teams getting out of this one as healthy as possible was a top priority. Tennessee Tech has FCS national championship aspirations, while the Wildcats have two exciting matchups left on their schedule. The second half was quite uneventful aside from two more UK scores – a 45-yard Boley dart to Hardley Gilmore IV and a 19-yard touchdown run by Dante Dowdell.
The result was never in question, and the Cats are now on a three-game win streak. Not a bad Caturday.
Highlights
MVP
Even in a game where Cutter Boley was dealing under center, you have to give the MVP nod to Seth McGowan for scoring three touchdowns.
In a season that has produced a roller coaster of emotions, McGowan has acted as a great stabilizing force that can be counted on to produce from game to game.
The Golden Eagles couldn’t stop UK’s offense in the first half, and #3 was the three-time beneficiary. His three touchdowns set the tone for what was a day of complete domination. McGowan finished the game with 17 carries for 72 yards and three touchdowns. He now has 12 scores on the season and five over the last eight quarters of football.
If Seth McGowan can establish the run game against Vandy and Louisville, things could get very interesting heading into Thanksgiving.
