That continued today, and put the Cats in a hole early. But overall it is on the whole field-goal unit to help close the gap from what we saw today. Despite those struggles they only held this explosive Ole Miss offense to two scores in the first half, and played well all throughout the second. The defense stepped up time and time again, making this into a fist-fight game that Mark Stoops always love to coach in. Luckily though this team mimics their head coach, and were up for a fist fight scoring a late touchdown to make the score only a one possession game at 19-12.

UK football suffered its first loss of the 2022 season thanks to self-inflicted mistakes from the special teams and Will Levis at Ole Miss.

The miss brought up memories of the 2020 meeting between the two teams when Ruffolo missed an extra-point in overtime that paved the way for an Ole Miss win in Lexington. Kentucky tied the game at 19 with a 17-yard touchdown pass from Levis to tight end Jordan Dingle on its second drive of the third quarter. Ole Miss then stretched its lead to 19-6 with a 53-yard field goal attempt later in the quarter. Kentucky regained possession for one final drive and drove to the Ole Miss 7-yard line before an illegal formation penalty negated what looked like a go-ahead touchdown pass from Levis to Dane Key. Facing third-and-2 at the Ole Miss 19-yard line, Levis faked a handoff to running back Chris Rodriguez and kept the ball with 2:55 remaining. 14 Ole Miss hold on for a 22-19 win over the No.
