We saw the Kentucky defense take a step back in 2023 as the pass defense posted some bad numbers finishing the year ranked No. 86 in passing EPA/play, No. 123 in passing success rate, and No. 127 in completion percentage allowed. The Wildcats did a decent job of eliminating explosive plays, but this unit was constantly playing behind the chains in the passing game. Part of the reason for the lackluster pass defense was due to competition. Kentucky faced four top-20 offenses last season and each scored at least 33 points against the Wildcats. Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee all averaged over 10...

Are you looking for a reason to be pissed off on this beautiful Saturday afternoon? David Cobb of CBS Sports just gave you one, taking shots at The Kroge for no good reason. We know Kroger Field, we love Kroger Field. When that place gets jumping, it’s jumping, particularly for evening kickoffs under the bright lights. And the atmosphere continues to improve with recent and upcoming upgrades to the jumbotron, ribbon video boards and lighting while also replacing the turf field ahead of the 2023 season. It’s a very good product working toward becoming great. How does it stack up against SEC com...

It’s a tricky time for Kentucky football fans. The summer is typically reserved for unbridled optimism around the Big Blue Nation. Those expectations hit a wall over the last two falls with a pair of disappointing 7-6 campaigns. We’re now entering a new era of college football. There are 16 teams in the SEC competing to be one of the 12 teams in the CFB Playoff. Even though Kentucky has the most experienced roster in the SEC, they will face one of the five most difficult schedules in all of college football. So where does that leave us? There’s uncertainty on offense with a new quarterback and...

Mark Stoops and Mitch Barnhart led a coalition at the 2023 SEC Spring Meetings that preserved an eight-game league schedule through the 2025 season, the first two seasons of the new-look, 16-team league. It’s looking more and more clear that this was just a temporary injunction. Officials at the University of Kentucky are insistent on keeping the SEC schedule at eight games for a variety of reasons, whether publicly stated or not. The primary reason is to preserve the Governor’s Cup rivalry with Louisville. If the conference expands to nine league games, that rivalry game is in jeopardy. Kentu...

Tackle was a significant need for Kentucky in the 2025 high school recruiting cycle. New offensive line coach Eric Wolford needed to help the program find more true tackle prospects that could get developed in the program. A third commitment at the position on Thursday capped off a huge last month for the program. Trotwood (Ohio) Madison senior Jermiel Atkins became the third offensive tackle to commit to Kentucky picking the SEC program over Minnesota and Virginia Tech. The Wildcats are addressing their offensive tackle need in a big way as Atkins will join Darrin Strey and Bryan Auguste in t...

In the middle of the summer, college football fans play the schedule game. There’s a range of potential final records on the table, and it’s all based on how your team fares in toss-up games on the schedule.

For what feels like the 17th straight season, Kentucky is breaking in a new offensive play-caller and transfer portal quarterback. There’s uncertainty there. There is also a daunting schedule, something not unusual in the SEC, but finding even one road win might be a task too tall for this team to conquer. It all depends...
