Kentucky offense struggles, throws 2 pick-6s in first half of Music City Bowl vs. Iowa
Kentucky trails Iowa 21-0 at halftime of the Music City Bowl in Nashville.
It was always going to be tough for the Wildcats to win without star QB Will Levis playing in the game, but the Kentucky offense has been horrendous.
The Iowa offense has only scored 7 points. The Hawkeyes’ defense, however, has scored 14 points on 2 pick-6s. The first was returned by Xavier Nwankpa for a 52-yard score:

Will Kentucky make a QB change at halftime or continue to see what it has in Wade? The Wildcats’ offense doesn’t look like it can overcome a 3-score deficit at this point.
