Rodriguez’s 2 TD runs push No. 22 Kentucky past Miss. State
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! And then I saw it on the Jumbotron.” “That running back pounded us,” Mississippi State coach Mike Leach said about Rodriguez. All of this is my fault because I call the offense.” Levis started after missing last week’s 24-14 loss to South Carolina with a left foot injury and began promisingly, even though Kentucky had only a field goal to show for it in a 3-3 first half marred by 16 combined penalties for 124 yards. “Didn’t realize it was the extra point.” Levis was back in for the next possession and eventually threaded a 3-yard touchdown pass to Rahsaan Lewis on fourth down to put Kentucky up 13-10 with 4:10 remaining in the third. “On the last touchdown, I thought the offensive line that was pushing me until I saw it was defensive players trying to tackle me.” Levis finished 17 of 23 passing for 230 yards to outdo record-breaking MSU counterpart Will Rogers, who was 25 of 37 for 203 and a 1-yard TD to Austin Williams.
