ESPN RECAP

Hairston's pair of pick-6s give Kentucky 45-28 vin over Vanderbilt

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- , Cornerback Maxwell Hairston had a pair of pick-6s, Ray Davis rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns and Kentucky beat Vanderbilt 45-28 on Saturday in an SEC opener for both teams. ““I was just doing my job,” Hairston said. “When you do your job, the ball just comes your way.” After starting the season with three home victories over nonconference opponents, Kentucky began its Southeastern Conference schedule with its first road win. The Wildcats (4-0, 1-0) started strong, scoring three first quarter touchdowns, two on offense as well as a 29-yard pick six by Hairston. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said it feels good to get the first league win, especially on the road. “Getting off to a fast start on the road for an 11 o'clock kickoff was something of importance for us, and we stressed that and it was great to see,” Stoops said.
