        LEXINGTON, Ky. — Ten different players scored touchdowns as the Kentucky Wildcats scored the second-most points in school history in a 77-17 victory over Texas-El Paso.

        Kentucky is now 2-0 for the first time since 1998. Still, Morriss said the team has a long way to go before taking on border rival Indiana next weekend.

        “We were happy to get the win, but we have some things to get corrected between now and next Saturday,” he said. “I was unhappy with the rhythm of the game. Our execution was not good and our concentration was poor.

        “There are going to be some rear ends chewed out tomorrow. I think that will get them back down to earth. In every area, we can still get better.”

        Jared Lorenzen threw for 211 yards and finished with scoring passes of 7, 12, 35, 49 and 58 yards, all to different receivers. It was the most points for the Wildcats since they beat North Dakota 83-0 in 1950.

        Artose Pinner rushed 16 times for 116 yards and a touchdown, and freshman Arliss Beach added another 108 yards on nine carries for Kentucky.

        “As a team, I think we feel like we can go out and play, put up points and stop anybody now,” said Pinner, who recorded his fourth career 100-yard rushing game.

        “We could have had a letdown after the big win over Louisville last week. But the coaches and players worked hard to make sure that didn't happen.”

        Matt Austin rushed 14 times for 112 yards and Jon Schaper completed 10 of 24 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown for UTEP (1-1), which dropped to 0-6 in road games against Southeastern Conference teams.

        “I was embarrassed the way they just ran right through us,” UTEP coach Gary Nord said. “I wasn't pleased with anything today, frankly.”

        Lorenzen left the game after the Wildcats' first series of the second half. He completed 10 of 17 passes and did not throw an interception.

        Backup Shane Boyd played the rest of the third quarter and scored on a 20-yard run before being replaced by third-stringer Dan Lumley in the fourth.

        Boyd completed his only pass attempt and rushed three times for 68 yards. Lumley also completed his only pass attempt and scored his first college points on a 1-yard sneak.

        “I'm happy that a lot of the young guys got to play,” Morriss said. “They may be called on to step up in the future, and it just helps them to have some experience.”

        UTEP scored its only points of the second half on backup Orlando Cruz's 21-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Gonzales with 9:38 remaining.

        “I don't think they piled it on at all,” Nord said. “All they did was hand the ball off. Even with their subs in, we couldn't stop them.”

        Lorenzen threw his first TD pass, a 35-yarder to Aaron Boone, and Pinner scored on a 9-yard run over right tackle to give Kentucky a 14-3 lead entering the second quarter.

        Lorenzen hit freshman Glenn Holt with a 12-yard fade pass in the left corner of the end zone to put the Wildcats up 21-3 with 13:14 remaining in the half.

        The diving catch was Holt's first career reception. Holt got his first career rushing touchdown on a 16-yard end-around with 5:16 to play in the third quarter.

        The Miners responded with an 80-yard scoring drive. Schaper found Terrance Minor with an 11-yard TD pass across the middle to cut the margin to 21-10 with 10:43 to play in the half.

        Lorenzen finished the half with a 49-yard touchdown pass to Chris Bernard and a 7-yard scoring pass to Chase Harp to make it 35-10 at halftime.

        “It was like we were helpless,” UTEP defensive lineman Sam Clarke said. “The score just kept going up and up, and we couldn't do anything about it.”
