Best photos from Kentucky football’s Week 4 victory over Ohio Bobcats

We take a look at some of the best photos from the Wildcats’ 41-6 win over Ohio on Saturday.

The Kentucky Wildcats got back in the win column Saturday with a much-needed 41-6 victory over the Ohio Bobcats at Kroger Field.

The win snapped a two-game losing streak after Kentucky was blown out by South Carolina in Week 2, only to take the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs down to the wire a week later in Lexington.

After a slow start Saturday, the offense found the end-zone for the first time in nine quarters. Demie Sumo-Karngbaye had two short touchdown runs and Barion Brown had a 23-yard rush for a score.

Quarterback Brock Vandagriff finished 17-of-24 for 237 yards with receiver Dane Key hauling in seven catches for a career-high 145 yards. The Wildcats finished the afternoon with 488 total yards.

Defensively, Kentucky held Ohio to 223 yards. Cornerback Maxwell Hairston had a 25-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter that gave Kentucky a 27-0 lead en route to the victory.

Taking an early look at the Kentucky football 2024 roster: Wide receiver

Taking a look at the wide receiver position for the 2024 Kentucky Wildcats

The 2024 Kentucky Wildcats football team has some questions on offense, particularly at quarterback and running back. One position that should be a strength, however, is wide receiver.

The Wildcats bring some very talented receivers back from last season, and added to it with some newcomers who should contribute right away. They lost just one contributor from 2023, and coaches will have a plethora of options out wide.

Junior Dane Key was the team’s leading receiver last season, with 42 receptions for 636 yards and 6 touchdowns. He has good size and big play ability.

Barion Brown is another returnee who could have a big season. He had 43 catches for over 500 yards and 4 scores, but could be even better in 2024.

Ja’Mori Maclin is a talented transfer who played at Missouri and then North Texas before coming to Lexington. He had over 1,000 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, and brings a home run threat to the unit.

Brandon White is on the smaller side at 5’9″ and 167 lbs, but he can fly. They’ll try to work his speed into the rotation.

Anthony Brown-Stephens caught just 5 passes last year, but did have a score. He should see some time in the slot for the Wildcats.

Raymond Cottrell and Fred Farrior II are transfers from Texas A&M and Alabama-Birmingham respectively. Like Key, Cottrell is a big receiver who could force his way onto the field.

Hardley Gilmore IV and David Washington are talented incoming Freshmen who will look to find the field as well.

The Wildcats coaching staff has a solid group of players at receiver next season. Finding the right rotation will be an important part of the offseason.

Michigan State is still in the running for a big-time wide receiver prospect in the 2022 class.

Dane Key —  who is a four-star wide receiver from Lexington, Ky. — revealed his top 10 schools list on Sunday, and Michigan State cracked the list. Along with Michigan State, Key named Arkansas, Virginia Tech, Purdue, Wisconsin, Oregon, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Virginia and Kentucky as his other schools in his top 10.

Key is listed at 6-foot-2 and 170 pounds, and plays for Frederick Douglass High in Lexington. Key is ranked as the No. 34 wide receiver prospect and No. 229 overall recruit in the 2022 class by 247Sports.

As of right now, Key is projected to end up at the hometown Wildcats of Kentucky, according to 247Sports. Crystal Ball projections have been wrong before, of course, so it’s still good to see the Spartans remain in the hunt for this highly-touted wide receiver.
