Kentucky beat No. 9 Texas A&M 31-21 at Kyle Field on Saturday, spoiling the Aggies' SEC opener and handing coach Will Stein his first road win.
A 196-20 third quarter swing broke the game open as Kenny Minchey threw 2 touchdown passes, CJ Baxter scored twice, and Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed was picked off 2 times.
The result flipped a series that had been historically tight — Texas A&M entered with a 2-1 edge, and the previous three meetings had all been decided by 6 points or fewer.
Kentucky's first win over a ranked opponent since 2024 could push the Wildcats into the Top 25, while the loss intensifies scrutiny on a Texas A&M team expected to contend.
