Kentucky Loses To No. 1 Mississippi State 45-31

(AP) — Kentucky quarterback Patrick Towles wasn't intimidated by top-ranked Mississippi State and did his part to keep the Wildcats within reach of the Bulldogs. Having to play catch-up against the nation's top team was the difference as the Wildcats came up short in Saturday's 45-31 loss. The sophomore quarterback completed 24 of 43 passes for a career-best 390 yards and two touchdowns. After forcing Kentucky to punt on its opening drive, Prescott completed his first five passes for 56 yards to quickly move Mississippi State into Kentucky territory. [...] Prescott's biggest play was recovering his own fumble at the Wildcats 13 after a 3-yard gain, extending the drive and setting up Josh Robinson's walk-in touchdown on the next play. Mississippi State scored 10 straight points, converting Braylon Heard's fumble into Evan Sobiesk's 26-yard field goal and capping a 68-yard drive with Prescott's 2-yard run. Austin MacGinnis' 34-yard field goal brought Kentucky within a touchdown and the Wildcats got another chance to narrow the lead before halftime.
