Jacksonville State beat Florida State. Montana shocked Washington. ETSU whipped Vanderbilt in Nashville. In all, eight FCS teams have defeated FBS opponents in 2021. Those upsets make for fantastical headlines; but, don’t expect the same surprising results when the Chattanooga Mocs visit Kroger Field.
UK’s opponent on Saturday is the Kentucky Wildcats. Its first two games resulted in wins, but there is quite a bit to clean up from victories over ULM and Missouri. This especially applies to the Wildcats’ -4 turnover margin. Two games of coughing up the football is not quite a trend, yet. However, it’s a concerning development with the meat of its SEC schedule lying ahead.
