Good morning, BBN!
It’s gameday in the Bluegrass as the No. 12 Kentucky Wildcats welcome the Vanderbilt Commodores to Kroger Field for another SEC showdown.
Kentucky (6-1, 4-1 SEC) enters Saturday riding a five-game winning streak following an impressive 21-13 road victory over Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt (3-4, 0-4 SEC) has struggled this season, losing four straight games.
Under first-year head coach Will Stein, the Wildcats have emerged as legitimate College Football Playoff contenders, and another victory would keep that momentum rolling.
Kentucky fans haven’t forgotten last season’s embarrassing 45-17 loss to Vanderbilt in Nashville, and Stein and his coaching staff have made sure everyone on this year’s team remembers it, too.
The Commodores have won two straight against Kentucky, but that streak has to end today.
With Vanderbilt struggling and Kentucky enjoying its best start in years, the Wildcats have a golden opportunity to get some much-needed revenge.
