Kentucky football had a rough day at Vanderbilt. The Commodores, ranked 14th, won 45-17. It wasn't even close. Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt's quarterback, had a great game. He threw for 469 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for a score. Pavia made Kentucky's defense look bad. They couldn't stop him or his receivers.
Kentucky had won three games in a row before this. Fans hoped they could compete against a top-15 team. But that didn't happen. The score was 45-3 at one point. It looked like Kentucky was playing against a much better team.
Cutter Boley, Kentucky's quarterback, had a tough game too. He threw for 280 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also got hurt. This is concerning because he's the team's best option at quarterback.
This loss raises questions about Kentucky's future. Coach Mark Stoops has been under fire before. After this loss, even his supporters might think it's time for a change. The university's administration might need to make a tough decision.
Next week, Kentucky plays Louisville. Louisville just lost badly to SMU. They might be tired and injured. Kentucky has a chance to win this game. But after this performance, fans might not be confident.
