It’s the 1-8 Kentucky Wildcats versus the 4-4 Vanderbilt Commodores at Commonwealth Stadium today and I will be running your live drive blog. This is a new feature of the site as you should be able to follow along without refreshing the screen. I will be along in just a few minutes to get this started. Noon games always throw me for a loop, but let’s get this started
4th Quarter: Vanderbilt 40 Kentcky 0
Sorry, had internet problems. Nothing missed.
4th Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Towles not afraid to go deep, but inaccurate. But this team needs his gunslinger approach
Mercifully quick 3rd quarter. Kentucky D putting up no resistance.
Very nearly a pick 6 by Harmon.
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky
LaRod King drops another 4th down conversion. To be honest, don;t know if he had the yardage if he caught it
Deuces for Vandy and the interception stands AND UK gets it inside the 15 at the 13.
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Both flags on Vandy. Kentucky needs points
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Interception Kentucky. Ashley Lowery with the pick but a ton of flags
King dropped a First Down at the Vandy 6. Turn over on downs.
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Towles has looked better than Whitlow and I like his aggressiveness. Kentucky is killing themselves with personal fould
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Towles goes deep but Robinson cannot bring it down in end zone
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Jordan Swindle with a personal foul that pushes UK back
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Towles seems to have a nice drive going. Jonathan George with a first down near the 30 but there is a penalty flag
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Ronnie Shields with a cath to bring up 3rd and 1 near midfield
Towles back in.
Rodgers fumbles and Kentucky recovers!
Rodgers to Tate for another First Down.
Landon Foster must have a bionic leg. Boomed to the 33. Kraus ahead to the 39. 11:06 left in the 3rd.
4th and 10 after the 7th straight incompletion.
I like that we are playing one QB primarily, but I don’t know that it shouldn’t be Towles.
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Injuries piling up, Neloms will be out
Sanders takes it out of the EZ…again. Again we don’t reach the 25. I. Don’t. Understand.
Next year, we need to video tape the awarding of a scholarship to a Walk-On. Can’t hurt.
3rd Quarter: Vanderbilt 34 Kentucky 0
Brian Kimbrow for a 34 yard TD run … Virtually untouched. Vandy 34 Kentucky 0
Pardon…TD was by Kimbrow.
And Brian Kimbrell up the gut for the TD. 34-0 Nerds
Defense is looking a little gassed but they’ve been on the field for forever.
Popped for a Horse Collar tackle, was Simpson. 6 penalties for 86 yards for UK
Guessing the paint didn’t dry?
3rd quarter: Vanderbilt 27 Kentucky 0
Three and out by whitlow to start. I think Towles needs to be in there
The Head Nerd is probably instructing the Nerdlings to call it late.
HALFTIME: Vanderbilt 27 Kentucky 0
Interesting note from Twitter. Vandy also got two punt interference calls vs Auburn. Now Vandy calls for the fair catch very late. Is this something Franklin is instructing them to do or a fluke. If so, nice coaching call
Sorry 27-0
HALFTIME Vanderbilt 28 Kentucky 0
Gonna walk the dog. Be back soon
Half Time
Whitlow back in and goes 8 on a designed run Left.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 27 Kentucky 0
2 yard TDrun from Zach Stacy. No further comment Vandy missed XP
Another TD by Vandy via Zac Stacy
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 21 Kentucky 0
Before this game, Vandy wasveraging 13 point a game to teams not named Presbyterian and UMass. Close to another score
Matthews…again but a good hit by Quinn to prevent the TD.
Jordan Matthews down to the 15 on another completion by Rodgers.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 21 Kentucky 0
JD Harmon with a late hit (which is very iffy)
Late Hit OOB on Rodgers. Harmon got him.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Another punt interference call
Towles is a little rusty but that’s to be expected. Boyd fell down at the top of his route then a poor throw.
Sanders off right side for the First Down.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 21 Kentucky 0
OK, laying off the negative and going with lay by play. Towles is in
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 21 Kentucky 0
Thing is, Rodger is not a GREAT QB. And this is not a complex offense. They have two WR’s that catch 78% 0f their receiving yardage
I wonder if the commentators have a sheet of excuses ready for when UK gives up the big play. Just heard “youth” and they’re exactly right, but we are not the only young team.
Haha oh yeah…Well I went with Brees also because he can run as well but doesn’t throw like Aaron and neither does Jordan.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 21 Kentucky 0
Wow, Chrs Boyd wide open on 3rd and 5 and Rodgers hits him for a 30 yard touchdown. Defense totally notthink a pass is possible
or a mini Aaron Rodgers. Seeing its his brother
Rogers is like a mini Drew Brees, but with better wheels. Vandy First Down.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Patrick Towles is loosening up. Not that Whitlow has been horrible, but at this point, you have to end the QB shuffling and turn this team over to Towles
Alright, we stopped them on 1st and 10…for 2.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Tate converts. Vandy with a first and 10 right inside midfield
And there’s another Vandy First Down
Can we stop anyone? Really? Run left and we flatten the dude…after 3 guys grab his feet for the other to hit him.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Kentucky D facing another short 3rd and 1 near midfield
I don’t think they can either but it would be awesome if they could.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
The hits keep coming. Miles Simpson hits Vandy returner on a fair catch
I hate that penalty but there wasn’t much we could do. Called fair catch too late.
OK, cool. More than one person can get on here. I don’t think non WBN staffers can tho
Ruh Roh…this isn’t looking great.
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Whitlow overthrows LaRod King by 15 yards. Punt time again
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Jonathan George with a nce 15 yard fun and Whitlow follows with a 16 yard run. Smells like a drive
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Vandy punts but Robinson fields ball at 4 yard line. Wonder if it is Towles time
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Kentucky gets good pressure on Rodgers and gets an intentional grounding for Rodgers. Equates to a 13 yard loss. 3rd and 20
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Kentucky finding out that armtackling Zack Stacy will not work. Vandy moving at ease and back in Kentucky territory
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Kentucky has a chance to stop the punt return within the Vandy 5 yard line but misses about four tackles on the return and Vandy is apared incredible bad field position
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
After big play, Kentucky loses a yard on next two plays. Whitlow misses EJ Fields on 3rd and 11
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Big play from Whitlow to Robinson. 35 yard pass
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
Bottom line is Vandy has outscored UK 52-8 in the last 5 quarters of football.
Mobley nakes the bad decision taking the ball out of the endzone. Kentucky with bad field position
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 14 Kentucky 0
2nd quarter: Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0
Tate is running at will. Tates takes a 3rd and 1 play into the endzone. Welp. It’s 14-0 Vandy.
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
Kentucky defense is confused about basic running plays as Wesley Tate is shredding them. Mercifuly quick first quarter ends
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
Ashley Lowery should have had the interception on an underthrown Rodgers pass. Does not matter. Ukwu with the personal foul on Rodgers. Vandy 1st and 10 from UK 26
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
Rodgers 6-8 early and Ball at UK 40
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
Chris Boyd on a diving catch on 3rd and 5. Cartier Rice gave him plenty of cushion
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
McIntosh horribly shanks a 50 yard FG attempt. And Vandy will take over with good field position
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
Playcalling is just too predictable and Vandy daring Whitlow to pass. Another long 3rd downand Whitlow is sacked. Brings up a 4th and 12 or so
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
George gets the 1st down. We are now 2-13 on 4th downs this year
Another 3rd down for Whitlow. Handoff to George is a little short and brings up a 4th and 1 from 32
Sanders with a first down run to the Vandy 41. 1st and 10
Another long 3rd down completion to Boyd brings another first down. God to see Boyd producing again
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
A run by and a short pass to George get close to another first down but holding call on EJ Fields brings it back. 2nd and 13 now
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
Two runs go nowhere but Whitlow hits Boyd on a 3rd and 10 pass for the first down
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
Whitlow getting the start as expected
Vanderbilt 7 Kentucky 0 – 1st quarter
4th and down from the 34 ends up being a touchdown pass. Jordan Matthews was inexplicable wide open and he shook the tackle attempt by Neloms to score untouched the rest of the way. Horrible start to the game
Rodgers keeps on a 3rd and 5 and Bud Dupree with a nice stop. Looks like Vandy is oing to go for it
Zak Stacy converts a third down conversion out of the Wildcat offense. 1st and 10 from UK 39
Vandy gets an opening first down, but Rodgers is having trouble with the rain. Could be a long, sloppy day which probably favors Kentucky. Rodgers holds on to the ball and gets it across midfield
Vanderbilt elects to receive the ball
Looks like more than a chance of rain as I see a lot of rainbreakers in the crowd and it looks like a cold miserable day. Hopefully some good will come out of this
Hello all. Looks lke a slight chance of rain and Kentucky is wearing blue. Have not gotten a look at the crowd yet….
I'm the founder and creator of the Wildcat Blue Nation and am a proud UK grad and was born in Madisonville. After graduating from UK, I bounced around the media industry, working in TV and radio. Evenually I crossed over to corporate America and am now self employed .... but I've always been a sportswriter at heart. So I started this site on May 23,2009 to provide Kentucky Wildcat news and opinion ... without the drama.
