Kentucky football head coach Mark Stoops was left speechless after redshirt freshman quarterback Cutter Boley delivered a jaw-dropping play against Tennessee Tech. During the game, Boley took off on a 30-yard rushing touchdown, lowering his shoulder into a Tennessee Tech defender, while multiple defenders tried to tackle him as he found his way to the end zone. “I was a little bit dumbfounded, and I said, ‘Did he score?’ I mean, then he scored, so you know what? That’s fun. You know, it’s fun,” Stoops said. “You do not wanna see that, we were just talking about that, we gotta teach him how to protect himself a little bit, but some of that is gonna kind of fire up your team, and for him to lower his shoulder and get in the end zone just shows another element to his game and what he’s willing to do for his team.” The play highlighted Boley’s toughness and versatility, showing he isn’t just a passing threat for the Wildcats. The QB’s willingness to take contact while maintaining control of the ball energized the Kentucky sideline and helped extend their momentum against Tennessee Tech. Stoops emphasized the need to teach Boley proper technique to avoid injury, but there’s no denying the impact the play had on both the scoreboard and the team’s energy. Boley’s physicality and the run demonstrated why he’s quickly becoming a key contributor for Kentucky this season. Kentucky would go on to dominate Tennessee Tech, with Boley’s 30-yard touchdown serving as a signature highlight of the game.

Kentucky football dominated Tennessee Tech from the opening kickoff, cruising to a 42-10 victory in one of its most complete performances of the season. By halftime, the Wildcats held a commanding 28–7 lead thanks to a balanced, explosive offense and a defense that consistently shut the door. Running back Seth McGowan set the tone early, punching in three rushing touchdowns in the first half alone. His physical running style and ability to power through contact showed exactly why landing him in the transfer portal was so crucial. Quarterback Cutter Boley added to the scoring with a 30-yard rushing touchdown, slicing through the defense and demonstrating both poise and athleticism. Boley also helped engineer multiple long drives, consistently making the right reads and getting the offense into rhythm. Tennessee Tech briefly narrowed the score to 21-7, but Kentucky immediately responded with McGowan’s third touchdown of the half to restore control. Defensively, the Wildcats gave up just one touchdown before halftime and kept the Golden Eagles’ offense in check throughout the day. The second half was more of the same: McGowan continued to dominate, Boley added a touchdown through the air, and Kentucky’s defense allowed very little breathing room. The game was never in doubt as Mark Stoops’ squad rolled to .500 on the season and extended its win streak to three games. 4 Things to Know 1. Seth McGowan will be missed, and he showed why If Seth McGowan does not receive an additional year of eligibility, Kentucky fans will remember this performance as a perfect snapshot of how important he has been to the 2025 offense. McGowan’s three first-half touchdowns highlighted his combination of vision, burst, and physicality. Every carry seemed to set a tone, whether he was lowering his shoulder for tough yards or bouncing outside for explosive plays. McGowan didn’t slow down in the second half either, continuing to punish defenders and extend drives. What makes his impact so significant isn’t just the touchdowns; it’s how he controls the flow of the offense. With McGowan on the field, Kentucky stays ahead of the chains, sets up manageable third-down situations, and keeps the defense honest. His presence also opens opportunities for young quarterback Cutter Boley, who benefits tremendously from a reliable ground game. Whether McGowan returns next season or not, Kentucky must prepare for life without him, but his imprint on this offense will be tough to replicate. 2. Cutter Boley Continues to Prove He’s the Future Redshirt freshman Cutter Boley was thrown into the fire early in the 2025 season, and while he has faced adversity, especially his struggles in his first SEC road start at South Carolina, his growth has been undeniable. Now 4–4 as a starter and 2–4 in SEC play in the 2025 season, Boley continues to show that he is the long-term solution for Kentucky football. Against Tennessee Tech, Boley looked confident, composed, and decisive. His 30-yard rushing touchdown in the first half showcased his athletic upside, a part of his game that sometimes goes overlooked. But he also added a touchdown through the air in the second half and surpassed 200 passing yards, proving he can beat a defense multiple ways. What stands out most is how well he manages the game. His improved accuracy and pocket presence give Kentucky a level of stability the team lacked early in the season. While the competition will stiffen over the next two weeks, Boley has firmly positioned himself as the foundation of the program’s future. Each game is another step forward and this was one of his most complete outings yet. 3. Kendrick Law Has Cemented Himself as a Major Offensive Weapon Alabama transfer wide receiver Kendrick Law has transformed his season over the last month. Early in the year, Kentucky struggled to consistently get him the ball, whether due to quarterback changes or offensive rhythm issues. But that narrative has flipped dramatically. Against…
