If you missed Saturday night at Kroger Field, here's the whole thing in a few minutes. Vanderbilt jumped out first on a 30-yard Brock Taylor field goal, then made it 10-0 when Jared Curtis hit J. Conner for a 3-yard touchdown.

Then the Cats went to work. Kenny Minchey found DJ Miller for a 9-yard score to get Kentucky on the board before the half, and from there it was all Big Blue. Minchey threw for 203 yards and ran one in himself, and Kentucky pulled away for a 34-17 win to move to 7-1. Vanderbilt fell to 3-5.

Full recap and box score breakdown: FINAL: Kentucky 34, Vanderbilt 17. And the win has Kentucky sitting at No. 1 in ESPN's strength of record: read that here. Next up is the open week, then a trip to Tennessee on Nov. 7.
