Unfortunately, since their remarkable performance against Florida, the Wildcats’ rushing attack has experienced a decline in productivity. In their matchups against formidable teams like Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi State, and Alabama, Kentucky has averaged a mere 102.2 rushing yards per game. Their latest game against No. 8 Alabama saw a lackluster performance, with the Wildcats only managing 95 rushing yards, 74 of which came from a late fourth quarter run by Ramon Jefferson.

The Cardinals showcased their offensive prowess by racking up 340 yards of offense, with 223 of those coming from their ground game. Head Coach Jeff Brohm was proud of his team’s performance, stating, “We were really efficient on offense, being really physical up front, running the football at them, and taking advantage of what the defense was giving us.”
