Brock Vandagriff went 17-of-24 passing for 237 yards to lead Kentucky to a 41-6 home win over Ohio on Saturday.

Dane Key was the biggest target for Vandagriff, catching seven passes for 145 yards.

The big quarter for Kentucky was the second quarter, when it scored two touchdowns to break a two-game drought of reaching the end zone.

Defensively, Kentucky limited Ohio to 223 yards of total offense, including 113 rushing yards on 32 attempts, and forced two turnovers. The Wildcats totaled 488 yards on offense, 282 through the air and 206 on the ground.

Kentucky (2-2) opened the scoring with 5:48 remaining in the first quarter on Alex Raynor's 30-yard field goal, and the Wildcats took a 10-0 lead with 14:39 to go in the second quarter on Demie Sumo-Karngbaye's 1-yard touchdown run.

The run finished off a seven-play, 80-yard drive that featured runs of 21 and 23 yards by Jamarion Wilcox.

Kentucky then went on another 80-yard drive, this time in eight plays, to take a 17-0 lead following a 2-yard touchdown run by Sumo-Karngbaye.

On the drive, Vandagriff completed two long passes to Key, one for 42 yards and another for 36 yards that helped move the ball to the Ohio 2-yard line.

Following a 34-yard field goal by Raynor that made it 20-0, Kentucky went up 27-0 with 5:12 left in the third quarter on a 25-yard interception return by Maxwell Hairston.

Ohio finally got on the board on the first play of the fourth quarter, cutting Kentucky's lead to 27-6 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Rickey Hunt Jr. that finished off a five-play, 51-yard drive.

The Bobcats went for two, but the conversion failed.

Kentucky quickly answered, driving 56 yards in six plays and taking a 34-6 lead with 11:38 left in the game on Barion Brown's 23-yard touchdown run.

A 2-yard touchdown run by backup quarterback Gavin Wimsatt with 3:45 remaining completed the scoring.
