One Year Ago
^Junior quarterback Glenn Fohr replaced injured starter Kevin Dooley and led the Wildcats to an easy 28-0 whipping of Ohio University at UK's annual homecoming game.
Kentucky rolled up more than 500 yards of total offense, including 400 on the ground. Senior tailback Mark Higgs enjoyed a spec-tucular afternoon, rambling for 170 yards on only 19 carries, and also scored three touchdowns.
The UK defense, meanwhile, limited the Bobcats to 36 yards rushing, 10 first downs and only 158 yards of total offense.
Dooley was forced to leave the game after taking a blow from Ohio linebacker Doug Mangen. But all Fohr had to do in replacing Dooley was hand off the Wildcat running backs, who found large cracks in the visitors' defensive line all game.
After a scoreless first quarter, Kentucky drew first blood when Higgs scored from 10 yards out. Later in the same quarter, backup tailback Ivy Joe Hunter got into the action, adding another score from two yards and staking the Wildcats to a 14-0 hafltime margin.
Higgs kept on punishing the Ohio defense in the second half, scoring two fourth quarter touchdownsone from three yards and the other on a brilliant 45-yard dash.
Kentucky will prepare to face Ole Miss in Lexington next Saturday. The Wildcats will have a revenge factor on their side, as the Rebels whipped UK 33-13 in Jackson, Miss., last season.
