Kentucky Football: Has Stephen Johnson Turned A Corner?

The Kentucky football team is just two wins away from securing its first bowl game bid since 2010. Playing in a bowl game may not be an accomplishment for most SEC teams, but Kentucky is one of the few for whom said result would be invaluable progress.

The only way for the Wildcats to successfully complete the program turnaround, however, is for a quarterback to rise to the occasion.
