When it comes to the gridiron, Vanderbilt has beaten Kentucky 42 times. The Wildcats have beaten the Commodores 42 times. Saturday’s matchup in Lexington will break the tie, and the betting spread is a fitting -3 in UK’s favor. That means the expected outcome on a neutral field would be a tie.
However, this game will mean more than just the deciding vote in the SEC’s least compelling rivalry. The losing coach is probably getting fired.
For Kentucky’s Mark Stoops, the guillotine could fall hours after a wretched Vanderbilt offense puts up 20+ points to ruin the UK homecoming weekend with a road win.
