They looked awfully good on offense and defense putting up up over 500 yards of offense.

Maxwell Smith had a career-best 354 yards passing and four touchdowns and Raymond Sanders added a career-high 115 yards rushing as Kentucky beat Kent State 47-14 Saturday night to win its seventh straight home opener.

The Wildcats, who trailed 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, racked up 539 yards to wear down the Golden Flashes. Aaron Boyd caught 11 passes for 100 yards for Kentucky (1-1).

Kentucky's 539 yards marked its best offensive performance since recording 580 yards against Vanderbilt on Nov. 13, 2010. Smith finished 30 of 39 and his 354 yards were the most for a Wildcats quarterback since 2007.

Boyd, a senior making his first start since his freshman season, eclipsed his previous career totals in receptions (nine) and yards (87) in this game alone.

Way to go cats! Some of the catches aaron boyd made were increidable, where has this been the last 3 years. [Smile]

. The defense still needs a lot of improvement,but they did look a lot better.

Better late than never for Mr. Boyd. Good to see him make the starting line up. Hope he has a great year.

Melons impressed the heck out of me, that's the most physical play I've seen in a while... a long while
