Kentucky’s road trip to Athens will serve as a homecoming for 13 Wildcats. On the UK roster only Kentucky (39) and Ohio (22) have more players than the state of Georgia. As the Wildcats slightly recalibrate their recruiting strategy, the peach state has become more and more important. That makes Saturday’s game more and more important.
Impact Players from Georgia
There’s a decent quantity, but what really stands out is the quality of football players from Georgia on Kentucky’s roster. It all starts with running back Chris Rodriguez (McDonough), who leads the SEC in rushing with 768 yards and five touchdowns through six games.
