Kentucky offensive tackle Justin Jeffries is no stranger to yellow flags. He’s encurred his share of procedure penalties. He’s heard it from the fans, as he joked about today at UK’s football press luncheon. But in Saturday’s 21-14 win at Auburn, Kentucky was not called for a single infraction. That’s the first time since 1991 that UK has turned in a penalty-free game, and no telling how long it has been since the Cats have gone 60 minutes without a penalty or a turnover. (We’re efforting the reserach on that one.)
