You can scratch a trip to the Rubber Bowl off of your Labor Day calendar in 2024. The Kentucky football program is switching up its non-conference schedule.
Kentucky will no longer travel to Akron to open the 2024 football season. According to FBS Schedules, there has been a schedule flip. The Zips will travel to Ohio State and the Buckeyes’ previously scheduled opponent, Southern Miss, will serve as Kentucky’s opener at Kroger Field.
MAC teams have been a part of the regular rotation throughout the Mark Stoops era. Hailing from the conference’s footprint in Youngstown, Stoops is 10-0 against MAC teams.
