It’s game day in Lexington. Under the lights at Kroger Field, Kentucky will try to finally exorcise one of its longest-running demons: winning a home game that matters. The Wildcats have dropped 10 straight at home against SEC or Louisville, and ending that streak tonight against a ranked Tennessee team would help calm a frustrated fan base.
Last week’s overtime loss in Lexington left Kentucky with more questions, especially after the Wildcats came up empty on the goal line in a game they had every chance to win. Now they get another shot at the Volunteers, a rival that has won all but two games in Lexington since 1981.
