LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Seth McGowan rushed for 104 yards and three touchdowns, Cutter Boley threw two touchdown passes in his first start of the season, and Kentucky to a 48-23 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday night.
Boley replaced Zach Calzada, who started Kentucky’s first two games but injured his right shoulder late in the fourth quarter of last Saturday’s 30-23 loss to No. 17 Mississippi. Boley was 12-of-21 passing for 240 and threw touchdowns of 3 and 4 yards to tight ends Willie Rodriquez and Josh Kattus.
“We had a lot of fun out there tonight,” Boley said. “I’ve prepared every week as if I’m the starter, and I’ve just maxed out my preparation to make sure I’m as comfortable as I can be when I get in there.”
Noah Kim kept the Eagles (0-3) close for a half. He threw for 330 yar
