LEXINGTON, Ky -- The Kentucky Wildcats moved to 4-0 on the season with a 41-3 victory over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Saturday night at Commonwealth Stadium.

Michael Hartline was 19-for-30 passing with 179 yards, while Derrick Locke added a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to lead the Cats in victory. Tony Dixon had two rushing touchdowns, and Alfonso Smith and Moncell Allen added touchdowns, as Kentucky's running backs accounted for all five Wildcat touchdowns.
