Late fumbles, special teams miscues doom No. 7 Kentucky in loss at No. 14 Ole Miss

Driving for a possible go-ahead touchdown or game-tying field goal, Kentucky star quarterback Will Levis lost two fumbles late in the fourth quarter that helped No. 14 Ole Miss hold on for a 22-19 win over the No. 7 Wildcats.

Facing third-and-2 at the Ole Miss 19-yard line, Levis faked a handoff to running back Chris Rodriguez and kept the ball with 2:55 remaining. He appeared to gain enough yardage for the first down, but had the ball pop loose as he was being tackled in the air.

Kentucky regained possession for one final drive and drove to the Ole Miss 7-yard line before an illegal formation penalty negated what looked like a go-ahead touchdown pass from Levis to Dane Key. On the next play, Levis fumbled again while being hit in the backfield.
