Freshman Jalen Whitlow served as starting quarter back and completed an 11 yard pass to WR Gene McCaskill for the game's first points fairly early in the first quarter. Whitlow then followed that with a 20 yard touchdown run about a minute before the end of the quarter to put the Cats up 14-0. He would ultimately throw for 66 yards and complete 10 of 13 passes. Freshman QB Patrick Towles threw for 47 yards. Kentucky's running backs were given a lot of attention on offense with Junior RB Raymond Sanders leading the way with 123 yards and scoring one touchdown that put the Cats up 24-3. Freshman RB Dyshawn Mobley contributed 82 yards while Junior RB Jonathan George contributed 76 yards. Samford was a non-factor offensively.
