Kentucky only has four away games on the schedule this season; which has the best road trip potential? As someone who loves football road trips and this great region we call the South, I’m here to help. I ranked the four away games based on five factors on a scale of 1-5 (1 being worst, 5 being best):
- Proximity to Lexington
- Winnability
- Stadium/tailgating scene
- Food/drink scene
- Intangibles (the one thing that makes that place unique to any other)
Here are the candidates:
- Mississippi State (September 21, Starkville, MS)
- South Carolina (September 28, Columbia, SC)
- Georgia (October 19, Athens, GA)
- Vanderbilt (November 16, Nashville, TN)
Let’s break them down one by one, starting with…
Mississippi State (September 21, Starkville, Mississippi)
Proximity to Lexington: 2
Starkville is 492 miles, or 7 hours 49 minutes from Lexington.
