LEXINGTON, Ky. – Could Kentucky earn a second win against a ranked team in four games this season? That’s the hope for Mark Stoops and company Saturday when No. 14 Mississippi State comes to Kroger Field.
How can Kentucky pull off the upset? Here are three keys for the UK offense and defense, a Mississippi State player to watch and a prediction.
Three keys for the UK offense
1. Control the clock
It’s difficult to imagine Kentucky’s defense completely shutting down Mississippi State’s potent rushing offense, so the best-case scenario for the Wildcats might be Benny Snell and the UK offense eating up enough clock to keep the defense off the field as much as possible.
