LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Robbie McAtee tackled Eldred King at the 1-yard line as time expired to preserve Kentucky's 20-14 victory over Middle Tennessee State Saturday night.
McAtee's game-saving ankle tackle came after Middlee Tennessee quarterback Joe Craddock heaved a Hail Mary 61 yards in what appeared to be a last-second victory for the Blue Raiders. Instead, McAtee's tackle kept Kentucky undefeated (3-0) and prevented the Blue Raiders (1-2) from a second straight win over a major conference foe, having beaten Maryland a week earlier.
Mike Hartline threw the first two TDS of his Kentucky career.
