For most Kentucky Wildcats fans, it’s hard not to look ahead to the blockbuster matchup with a ranked Ole Miss team in Oxford coming up on October 1st.
But for that game to mean something UK will have to take care of business and beat Northern Illinois on Saturday.
After last week’s noon kickoff, football will be played under the lights at Kroger Field on this weekend.
The Kentucky Wildcats will face the Huskies of Northern Illinois on ESPN2 at 7:00 pm.
Some fans argued this week that an earlier game time is more desirable when playing a lower tier opponent but there’s no debating the fact that playing on ESPN2 will provide more exposure for the players and program than the typical SEC Network slot.
