OK, so Kentucky football is ranked 111th nationally of 129 FBS teams in total offense. In Saturday’s 24-20 win over Eastern Michigan, it gained its fewest yards in 13 games. It is still missing its best defensive player. And its four victories have come by a combined 32 points.
That all said, it has lost just once in five tries, to Florida 28-27 in a heart-stopper you can argue it should have won. It is 2-0 on the road. It is 1-1 in the Southeastern Conference. And when you study its remaining opponents, it’s still on track to ring its baseline bell of a second straight bowl game.
