Kentucky gets going in second half to put away Akron, improve to 3-0

Kentucky started a bit slow but got going in the third quarter to put away Akron Saturday night at Kroger Field.

The Wildcats (3-0) finished off the Zips 35-3 largely due to some big plays from senior Ray Davis in the second half.

Davis finished with 7 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown to go along with 3 catches for 97 yards and a score.



New starting quarterback Devin Leary put up his best numbers yet in a Kentucky uniform. He finished 16-for-25 for 315 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception.

The Wildcats also got some big plays from running back Demie Sumo-Karngbaye, who finished with 4 rushes for 58 yards and a touchdown.

Kentucky enters Southeastern Conference play next weekend with a road trip to Vanderbilt (2-2). The Commodores are coming off back-to-back losses to Wake Forest and UNLV.
