Kentucky's 85-80 loss to Mississippi on Saturday isn't the end of the world but it does raise some concerns about the way the Cats are built.

Brandon Simmons 28 yard touchdown run wih 14:14 to go in the 2nd quarter put the Pirates up 10-zero in the Liberty Bowl. The Cats defense came out fired up on the first possession holding East Carolina to a three and out.
UK's offense has looked horrendous. The only bright light is Tony Dixon who seems like he has come to play. He had seven carries for 39 yards in the first quarter.
