When Kentucky returns from its bye week, it won’t be catching a break, it’ll be catching a reborn buzzsaw.
The Texas Longhorns are rolling into Lexington after a commanding 23–6 win over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. It was a defensive masterpiece that sent a message to the rest of the SEC: this team is built for November football.
After falling from number 1 to unranked after a disastrous loss to Florida, the Longhorns looked to have righted the ship against the top 10 Sooners down in Dallas. Arch Manning looked much more comfortable, and the defense was back to being elite.
