No. 15 Kentucky’s Huge 4th Quarter Lifts the Cats over Oklahoma

Kentucky capitalized on three John Mateer interceptions and a failed trick play as Oklahoma settled for field goals in a 21-13 loss.

  • On Saturday at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, No. 15 Kentucky defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 21-13. The Wildcats used a 14-0 fourth-quarter surge to secure their fifth consecutive victory and become bowl eligible.
  • Fifth-Year quarterback John Mateer struggled significantly in the second half, throwing three interceptions that derailed Oklahoma's offensive momentum. Despite 270 passing yards, the turnovers proved fatal to the Sooners' chances.
  • A 41-yard pick-six by Kentucky safety Jordan Castell with two minutes remaining sealed the win, extending the Wildcats' lead to 21-13. The defense finished with five total sacks.
  • Connecting twice for touchdowns, Kentucky quarterback Kenny Minchey Jr. found tight end Willie Rodriguez to guide the victory. Oklahoma sophomore wide receiver Manny Choice provided a rare bright spot with five catches for 98 yards.
  • Following this road victory, Kentucky returns home to host Vanderbilt next Saturday. The 3-3 Sooners travel to face Mississippi State on October 24, seeking to recover from this conference loss.
