The Kentucky Wildcats may be 3-0, but the real challenge of the SEC begins this week when the 14th-ranked Mississippi St. Bulldogs come to Kroger Field.
The Bulldogs are probably going to be the second-best team Kentucky faces this year, as they sport a wealth of offensive firepower and plenty of NFL talent on defense. They’re led by dual-threat passer Nick Fitzgerald, who’s easily one of the best mobile quarterbacks in college football.
But the real strength of this team is in their defense, led by defensive lineman Montez Sweat and Jeffrey Simmons, two potential first-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.
