The long wait is over. It has been 245 days since the Big Blue Nation has been treated to a Kentucky football spectacle. That drought ends tonight at Kroger Field when the Wildcats open up Mark Stoops’ tenth season in Lexington against Miami, Oh. at 7 pm EST.
Throughout the drought Will Levis became one of the most scrutinized college football quarterbacks in America. NFL scouts and pundits fell in love with his tools, while rivals pushed back the hype. In the midst of the highs, there were also lows. Chris Rodriguez and Jordan Wright, two team captains, will be sidelined for the opener due to unknown circumstances.
