Kentucky has game experience against Akron head coach Joe Moorhead. The 49-year-old had a two-year stint at Mississippi State from 2018-19, where he accumulated a 14-12 overall record and 7-9 in the SEC. It was a series split, the Wildcats winning the first matchup in Lexington 28-7 and the Bulldogs taking care of business the following year in Starkville 28-13.
What should fans know about the coach on the opposing sideline at Kroger Field on Saturday? Mark Stoops expects creativity. His defense shut down Moorhead’s offense the first time around, allowing just 201 total yards and seven points in the blowout win in ’18.
