Kentucky Football heads to Nashville riding its first real momentum surge in a couple of years, but with the season hanging in the balance. At 5-5, the Wildcats have fought their way back from a disastrous midseason stretch to put bowl eligibility within reach, but now comes their toughest road test since October.
Vanderbilt, meanwhile, is in the middle of an unexpected playoff push. The Commodores enter Week 13 at 8-2, ranked No. 14, and playing their final home game behind one of the nation’s most explosive offenses. It’s Senior Day, it’s a sellout, and the SEC spotlight is pointed squarely at FirstBank Stadium.
