For the first time since 2010, Vanderbilt is 2-7 after nine games. Like 2010, the seventh loss was a blowout loss to Florida — and like 2010, Vanderbilt follows that up with a Kentucky team fighting for bowl eligibility.
The Wildcats are 4-5 and haven’t had an actual quarterback take a snap for them since September 28. Terry Wilson played in two games before being lost for the season with an injury; then, backup Sawyer Smith started three games — all losses — and then he got injured, too. Since then, Kentucky’s gone with ostensible wide receiver Lynn Bowden as its quarterback.
