For a second straight season, Kentucky\u00a0begins the second half of the season with a 5-1 record. In 2017 they struggled down the stretch and hope to reverse that this year. On Saturday they play the first of four straight\u00a0games against the SEC East\u00a0when they host the Commodores. Let’s get you ready for the game under the lights at Kroger Field with four things to know before Kentucky plays Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n
Kentucky currently sits tied at the top of the SEC East with Florida and Georgia with one loss each. The Gators and Bulldogs play each other next week in their annual game in Jacksonville. On November 3rd the Wildcats host Kirby Smart<\/a>‘s<\/strong> club in what is the biggest Kentucky football game in 11 years.<\/p>\n Either the Bulldogs or Gators will have two losses after next week. Should they end up tied, the Wildcats hold the tie-breaker with Florida as a result of\u00a0their 27-16 win back in Week two.\u00a0All Kentucky has to do is keep winning and they can play their way into Atlanta for a date most likely\u00a0with Alabama. While beating Georgia won’t be easy, they aren’t as formidable as last year and one analyst thinks it is a good possibility.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m picking @UKFootball<\/a> to win the SEC East now \u2026 The Kentucky Wildcats will be in Atlanta.\u201d<\/p>\n – @PeterBurnsESPN<\/a> #SECThisMorning<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/a0JoWvj195<\/a><\/p>\n — SEC Network (@SECNetwork) October 15, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
