Freshman Destin Wade had his first career start at quarterback, went 16-30 for 98 yards, 2 interceptions and was sacked four times.
Iowa was able to put up all 21 points in the 2nd quarter alone off of two Kentucky interceptions and a pass from first-time starter Joe Labas.

The longest non-conference win streak in the country ends at 20 for Kentucky with the loss. The Wildcats' last non-conference loss was in the 2017 Music City Bowl to Northwestern.
