The Kentucky Wildcats are quietly on the verge of a good rebound season from last year’s 10-win historic run.
In every other season in Kentucky football since 1960, any season following a year with at least nine wins ended with a losing record. The final result of this season for the Wildcats hinges on Saturday’s game against Tennessee. Win and eight wins is possible. Lose and a bowl berth is still in question.
Tennessee’s fate hangs even more on the outcome of Saturday’s game. If they were to defeat Kentucky, they are one victory from a bowl bid and are staring a winning record in the face despite a catastrophic beginning to the season.
