During their six-game winning streak, pretty much everything went right for the Kentucky football team. From second-half rallies to clutch two-point conversions and defensive stops, the BBN couldn’t have asked for a better start to the Will Stein era. Unfortunately, everything unraveled last Saturday night in Knoxville. Everything that was going right went the other way in a 28-point blowout loss to Tennessee. Granted, you have to give the Volunteers a lot of credit for UK’s poor play. However, the Cats still have the postseason to play for, and that starts on Saturday night. Let’s break it down as Kentucky looks to bounce back against Florida.
Kentucky Looks To Bounce Back Against Florida
Moving On
Kentucky came into last Saturday as one of the best in the country in turnover margin. However, against the Vols, they lost two fumbles and Kenny Minchey threw his first interception since week two against Alabama. Throw in two failed fourth-down conversions, and it was a recipe for disaster.
Despite the loss, the Wildcats remain in the top twelve in the latest college football playoff projections. They are also in the Last Word playoff projections. Heading into the Florida game UK sits at 7-2 and 5-2 in league play. The Wildcats need a bounce-back game and to get back to playing clean football. Minchey will be missing one of his top targets as wide receiver Nic Anderson is out for Saturday.
The Wildcats have a definite chance of getting back on track on Saturday against a Florida defense that’s struggled…
