An unfortunate call by the officials. A fumble in its own territory. A future NFL wide receiver.
All of those factors combined to keep Kentucky from pulling off an achievable upset at Auburn in its 2020 season opener. The No. 8 Tigers prevailed, 29-13, over the No. 23 Wildcats.
Seth Williams was sensational for Auburn. The junior receiver caught six passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns, his 6-foot-3 frame proving to be too big for UK's lauded secondary.
Quarterback Terry Wilson was shaky in his first action since suffering a season-ending knee injury in UK's second game last season. He was 24 of 37 for 239 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw a costly interception at the end of the first half. Early in the fourth quarter he lost a fumble in his own territory, which Auburn quickly turned into points.
UK got into Auburn territory on six of its 11 drives, but it came away with only 13 points.
