Kentucky stuns Oklahoma 21-13 to tie for SEC lead
Kentucky forced four interceptions, including a 41-yard pick-six in the final two minutes, to beat Oklahoma 21-13 in Norman and pull into a tie for the SEC lead.
NORMAN, Okla. — Kentucky’s defence forced four interceptions on Saturday night, including a game-sealing 41-yard pick-six, as the No. 15 Wildcats beat Oklahoma 21-13 to move into a tie for the SEC lead.
Jordan Castell returned his second interception 41 yards for a touchdown with 1:17 remaining, and Ty Bryant’s second pick of the night sealed the win moments later. Kentucky intercepted Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer three times in the final 15:34 of the game.
The Wildcats managed just 230 yards of total offence against a stout Sooners defence but cashed in on turnovers. Kenny Minchey threw two touchdown passes, both to tight end Willie Rodriguez, completing 21 of 28 passes for 158 yards.
Kentucky improved to 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the SEC, tying No. 1 Georgia after the Bulldogs lost to Auburn, and has now won five straight. Oklahoma dropped to 3-3 and 1-2 in the conference. The Wildcats host Vanderbilt next Saturday, while the Sooners travel to Mississippi State.
