It's finally upon us: college football, ladies, and gentlemen of the Big Blue Nation. The Kentucky Wildcats will open their season at Commonwealth Stadium by taking on the Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi.
Last season the Golden Eagles ended with a record of 9-5 (7-1 in Conference USA) with a bowl appearance vs. the Washington Huskies. Southern Miss lost that game 44-31.
They return a high-powered offense led by senior Nick Mullens, one of the most proficient passers in all of college football. There's no doubt that the 'Cats will have their hands full on September 3rd, but this isn't a game they should be expected to lose.
