The University of Kentucky football team will look to appear in a bowl game for the third straight season in 2018.
If the Cats can reach this goal, it would be the first time the team appeared in bowl games in three consecutive seasons since a five year streak from 2006-10. To do so, they will have to do it with a handful of the key players who helped them reach bowl games the last two seasons.
The most notable departures include Quarterback Stephen Johnson (graduated) who quickly became one of the better quarterbacks in Kentucky history guiding the Cats to a pair of bowl game appearances, a 14-10 overall record and became the first quarterback in school history since 1924 to beat both rivals Tennessee and Louisville.
