Before the season even began I published a column titled: “This season may be do or die for Kentucky football.”
If that’s true, well, it died.
In that column I touched on a number of facts, including that, for the first time in his tenure, Mark Stoops’s prolonged success at Kentucky was finally being recognized, with the Wildcats earning a preseason AP Poll ranking for the first time in 44 years.
The team finished the season without a record beside its name, and I would be stunned if the preseason AP voters throw anything Kentucky’s way next season.
