This Saturday, Kentucky will play Georgia in the same stadium for the SEC East. Both teams are in the top ten of the College Football Playoff rankings and Kroger Field has been sold out for a month. The Cats are 7-1 and will likely finish with their best record since the 1977 team went 10-1. After an arduous rebuilding process, Mark Stoops is now in the conversation for Coach of the Year.
Kentucky’s dream season hit a fever pitch Monday night when the playoff rankings were revealed. Stoops’ squad boasts the No. 1 scoring defense in the country and two of the best players in the game in Josh Allen and Benny Snell.
