Coming into the season, the Big Blue Nation and the Kentucky Wildcats football team had historically high expectations. There was plenty of reason to believe so, but the primary reason was the amount of talent they were returning from a 10-win team, including Will Levis, Chris Rodriguez, and several other key seniors.
Through the first five weeks, Kentucky lived up to the hype, sitting at 4-1 with a win at Florida. However, the Wildcats have just a 2-4 record since and that includes a loss to Vanderbilt.
This Saturday, Kentucky will play in the Governor’s cup against a Louisville team that looks much better than they did to start the season, winning 5 of their last 6 and ranked 25th in the College Playoff rankings.
