Kentucky has played four top-20 teams this season. The Wildcats are 0-4 in those games with three losses of 17-plus points. Those top-level offenses are averaging 42.7 points per game, and only two were in doubt in the fourth quarter. This will end up being the story of the 2023 season.
Yet, Kentucky is 6-0 in every other game with a trio of three-possession wins against SEC competition. Who exactly is Kentucky this season? In some ways, we are still trying to figure that out. In Week 12, they will travel to South Carolina to play their final conference game of the season.
