While Kentucky has several tough games on the back-half of their schedule, one game that was circled early was this past Saturday’s trip to Nashville. Kentucky was flat-out embarrassed last year in Lexington, losing to Vanderbilt in tough fashion. So fans knew that head coach Mark Stoops and his team would want to return the favor.
That itch for a revenge game continued throughout the team — including with rising star and defensive back Maxwell Hairston. He didn’t necessarily play well against the Commodores last season and had this past Saturday’s game on his mind for a while.
